Emu Bush — Australian Native Eremophila alternifolia

Emu Bush (Eremophila alternifolia) is a native Australian shrub from the large and diverse Eremophila genus — a group of over 200 species found almost exclusively in Australia, most at home in the arid and semi-arid interior and coastal scrublands. Eremophila alternifolia is one of the more widely distributed species, found across Western Australia, South Australia, Queensland, and New South Wales. The plant produces tubular flowers — typically pink, lilac, or red — and small, aromatic leaves with a delicate, herbal, and earthy character. The Eremophila genus has deep significance in the cultural and ceremonial life of Aboriginal peoples across the arid regions of Australia, with individual species used across different language groups for a wide range of traditional purposes.

Emu Bush — FAQs

Everything you need to know before you order.

"Emu Bush" is the common name shared by many species within the genus Eremophila — a large group of flowering shrubs and small trees that are almost entirely endemic to Australia. The name is said to derive from emus eating the fruit of certain species and dispersing the seeds. Eremophila alternifolia specifically is a medium-sized shrub with narrow, alternate leaves and tubular flowers that typically range from pale pink to lilac. It grows across a broad arc of arid and semi-arid Australia and is one of the more recognisable species in the genus. The Eremophilas as a group are among the most species-rich native genera in Australia and are ecologically and culturally significant across the inland regions of the continent.
Eremophila species hold significant place in the traditional knowledge systems of Aboriginal peoples across arid Australia. Different species were used by different language groups across the continent for a wide range of purposes — the plants were part of the everyday material, medicinal, and ceremonial culture of communities living in country where Eremophilas are a dominant feature of the landscape. Specific traditional uses varied considerably between communities and species. As with all Australian native botanicals with strong traditional significance, we present this plant with respect for the depth and complexity of the knowledge systems in which it is embedded.
