Australian Native Wildflower as Garden Specimen

 

Comment

Eremophila subteretifolia is restricted to the vicinity of a number of salt lakes in the Roe Botanical District of Western Australia where it grows in saline soils. It is named for the shape of the leaves which are almost round in cross section.

This one is on the endangered list B)

At least you have got a UV shot.

It is listed as endangered because it is only found in a few places in the wild, however this shows the value of keen eremophila growers propagating it in their gardens as grows very vigorously here in Victoria. I doubt that I will ever see most of these species in the wild. There are several keen propagators who have collecting licences and do a good job to spread them around.
