Eremophila pinnatifida, commonly known as Dalwallinu eremophila^[2] is a flowering plant in the figwort family, Scrophulariaceae and is endemic to Western Australia. It is a spreading, rounded shrub with aromatic, deeply divided leaves and pale purple flowers which are white with purple spots inside. It is a rare plant, known only from a few areas near Perth.

Description

The flowers are borne singly in leaf axils and lack a stalk. There are 5 green, linear to lance-shaped, hairy sepals which are {{convert|5-8|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long. The petals are {{convert|18-25|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and are joined at their lower end to form a tube. The petal tube is pale to deep purple on the outside and white with pale purple spots inside. The outer surface of the tube and lobes is hairy but the inner surface of the petal lobes is glabrous and the inside of the tube is filled with long, soft hairs. The 4 stamens are fully enclosed in the petal tube. Flowering occurs from August to January and is followed by fruits which are dry, woody, oval-shaped with a pointed end and about {{convert|4|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long with a hairy covering.^[1][2]

Taxonomy and naming

This 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.^[3] The specific epithet (pinnatifida) is derived from the Latin words pinna meaning "feather"^[4]{{rp|321}} and bi meaning "two" or "double",^[4]{{rp|823}} referring to the deeply lobed flowers.^[1]

This is a fast-growing shrub with attractive, fern-like leaves and massed flower displays in spring and early summer. It is widely grown in eastern Australia but is sometimes short-lived. It can be easily grown from cuttings and grows in most soils, including clay but prefers a sunny position. It is tolerant of long droughts and of frost.^[7]
