It is a rarely-seen, small shrub with wedge-shaped leaves and white to cream-coloured flowers. DescriptionEremophila cuneata is a low shrub with many tangled, lumpy branches with sticky tips, growing to a height of about {{convert|1|m|ft|sigfig=1|abbr=on}}. The leaves are arranged alternately along the stems and are {{convert|9.5-23|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long, about {{convert|5-10|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide, thick, fleshy and wedge-shaped.[1][2]The flowers are only known from one immature flower on the type specimen. Flowers are apparently borne singly in leaf axils on a stalk {{convert|2.5-5.5|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long. There are 5 narrow triangular sepals which are {{convert|1.5-2|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long. The petals are {{convert|2-3|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and joined at their lower end to form a short tube so that the flowers resemble those in the genus Myoporum. The petal tube is white or cream-coloured and glabrous. The 4 stamens are fully enclosed within the tube. Flowering occurs from November to December and is followed by fruits which are fleshy, oval-shaped to almost spherical and {{convert|6-7|mm|in|sigfig=1}} long.[1][2] Taxonomy and namingThe species was first formally described by Robert Chinnock in 2007 and the description was published in Eremophila and Allied Genera: A Monograph of the Plant Family Myoporaceae. The type specimen was collected by Malcolm Trudgen near Steep Point.[3][1][2] The specific epithet (cuneata) is a Latin word meaning "wedge-shaped".[4] Distribution and habitatEremophila cuneata is known from only three plants seen by Malcolm Trudgen in the Steep Point area growing below limestone outcrops in calcareous sand[2] in the Yalgoo biogeographic region.[5][6]ConservationEremophila cuneata is classified as "Priority One" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife,[5] meaning that it is known from only one or a few locations which are potentially at risk.[7]References1. ^1 2 {{cite book|last1=Chinnock|first1=R.J.
