Description
Eremophila lanceolata is a spreading shrub which grows to a height of Шаблон:Convert with branches that are mostly glabrous, sticky and shiny when young, due to the presence of resin. The leaves are arranged alternately along the branches and are Шаблон:Convert long, Шаблон:Convert wide, elliptic to lance-shaped, mostly glabrous, sticky and shiny when young. The margins of the leaves often have distinct teeth.[1][2]
The flowers are usually borne singly in leaf axils on an S-shaped stalk, usually Шаблон:Convert long. There are 5 overlapping, green, lance-shaped, sepals which are mostly Шаблон:Convert long. The petals are Шаблон:Convert long and are joined at their lower end to form a tube. The petal tube is deep lilac to purple on the outside and white with dark purple spots on the inside. The outside of the petal tube is hairy, but the inside surface of the lobes is glabrous while the inside of the tube is filled with woolly hairs. The 4 stamens are fully enclosed in the petal tube. Flowering occurs from March to October and the fruits which follow are oval to almost spherical, dry with a hairy, papery covering and are about Шаблон:Convert long.[1][2]

Distribution and habitat
Eremophila lanceolata occurs in wide area of the Pilbara and south to Karalundi[1] and between Newman and Mount Augustus[2] in the Gascoyne, Gibson Desert, Little Sandy Desert and Pilbara biogeographic regions.[5][6]

Use in horticulture
This eremophila is an attractive small shrub which will grow well in a container and thrive in areas like Sydney or the coast of Victoria. It can be propagated from cuttings or by grafting, prefers a well-drained soil but will grow in either full sun or a partially shaded position. It is drought tolerant, although may need occasional watering if grown in a container but needs protection from frost.[7]
