It is a shrub which is mostly covered with a layer of glandular hairs and has red, unspotted flowers. DescriptionEremophila splendens is sometimes an erect, open shrub growing to a height of {{convert|1.0|m|ft|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} or a prostrate, spreading shrub. The branches and leaves are covered with a dense layer of glandular hairs mixed with longer, soft, simple hairs. The leaves are arranged alternately along the branches, overlap each other, are elliptic to egg-shaped, {{convert|25-32|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|11.5-14.5|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide.[1][2]The flowers are borne singly in leaf axils on stalks {{convert|5-10|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long. There are 5 green, unequal, egg-shaped and lance-shaped, hairy sepals which are {{convert|3-9|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long. The petals are {{convert|28-30|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} long and are joined at their lower end to form a tube. The petal tube is red to orange-red and the petal lobes are wide-spreading. The outside of the petal tube and lobes are covered with glandular hairs but the inside is mostly glabrous. The 4 stamens extend beyond the end of the petal tube. Flowering mainly occurs between May and September and is followed by fruits which are nearly spherical drupes {{convert|6-8|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} in diameter with a glabrous, papery covering.[1][2] Taxonomy and namingEremophila splendens 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 (splendens) is a Latin word meaning "lustrous", "brilliant" or "glorious",[4] referring to the "attractive" flowers.[2]Distribution and habitatThis eremophila grows in yellow sand in the Shark Bay - Steep Point area in the Yalgoo biogeographic regions.[5] ConservationEremophila splendens is classified as "Priority One" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife,[5] meaning that it is known from only one or a few locations which are potentially at risk.[6]Use in horticultureWith its grey, furry leaves and masses of orange-red flowers, this is one of the most attractive eremophilas. It is fast-growing and its flowers attract nectar-feeding birds but it is often short lived. It can be easily propagated from cuttings and grown in a wide range of soils but performs best in full sun. It only needs an occasional watering during a long dry spell and is very tolerant of frost.[7] References1. ^1 {{cite book|last1=Chinnock|first1=R.J.
