Australian Native Plants Society (Australia)Eremophila Image Database
This image database illustrates all Eremophila species with with photographs showing flower and foliage characteristics and basic information on plant size and flower colour. As there are over 200 species of in the genus, the database is a work-in-progress and it will be some time before all species are included. Eventually it is hoped to expand the database to include cultivars.
Searching for eremophilas with particular characteristics
Using the Search Box at the top of this page, you can search the database for plants based on flower colour and size. Use the following size categories when searching:
| prostrate | Plants less than 150mm high at maturity |
| groundcover | Plants up to 300mm high , spreading to 2 metres at maturity |
| small | Shrubs from about 0.5 to 1.0 metres hign with a similar spread at maturity |
| medium | Shrubs from 1.0 to 3.0 metres high with a similar spread at maturity |
| large | Large shrubs or small trees, 3.0 metres high or taller |
As an example, to search for groundcovers with mauve flowers, enter “groundcover mauve” into the search box (without the quotes). A new page will open listing species or cultivars having those characteristics, together with links to photos.

- abietina to battii
