It is low, spreading shrub with narrow, prickly leaves and which bears violet-coloured flowers on short side branches. DescriptionEremaea violacea is a spreading to prostrate shrub which grows to a height of about {{convert|1.0|m|ft|sigfig=1}} and which has its younger branches densely covered with fine hairs. The leaves are linear to narrow egg-shaped, {{convert|7-12|mm|in|sigfig=1}} long, {{convert|0.4-1.2|mm|in|sigfig=1}} wide, flat or circular in cross section, depending on subspecies. (The two subspecies can be distinguished from each other by their cross section.)[1]As suggested by its name, the flowers are violet coloured and are on the ends of short side branches off longer ones which grew earlier in the previous year. The flowers occur in groups of up to 7. There are 5 sepals which are usually hairy on the outside surface and 5 petals {{convert|2.3-4.5|mm|in|sigfig=1}} long. The stamens are arranged in 5 bundles, each containing 24 to 32 stamens. Flowering occurs from September to October and is followed by fruits which are woody capsules. The capsules are {{convert|5-8|mm|in|sigfig=1}} long, {{convert|6-7.5|mm|in|sigfig=1}} wide, cup shaped to almost spherical and are smooth on the outer surface.[1] Taxonomy and namingEremaea violacea was first formally described in 1878 by Ferdinand von Mueller in Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae.[2][3] The specific epithet (violacea) is from the Latin violaceus meaning "having a purple colour".[4]There are two subspecies:
Distribution and habitatEremaea violacea is found in the Irwin district[1] in the Geraldton Sandplains and Swan Coastal Plain biogeographic regions.[7] It grows in sand, sandy clay or soils derived from laterite on sandplains, ridges and roadsides.[8]ConservationBoth subspecies of Eremaea violacea are classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.[7] References1. ^1 2 {{cite journal|last1=Hnatiuk|first1=Roger J.|title=A revision of the genus Eremaea (Myrtaceae)|journal=Nuytsia|date=1998|volume=9|issue=2|pages=162–167|url=https://florabase.dpaw.wa.gov.au/science/nuytsia/202.pdf|accessdate=13 August 2015}} {{Taxonbar|from=Q15396020}}2. ^{{cite book|last1=von Mueller|first1=Ferdinand|title=Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae (Volume 11)|date=1878|location=Melbourne|pages=10–11|url=https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/7228#page/10/mode/1up|accessdate=13 August 2015}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Eremaea violacea|url=https://biodiversity.org.au/boa/instance/apni/511524|publisher=APNI|accessdate=13 August 2015}} 4. ^{{cite book|last1=Brown|first1=Roland Wilbur|title=The Composition of Scientific Words|date=1956|publisher=Smithsonian Institution Press|location=Washington, D.C.|page =153}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Eremaea violacea subsp. violacea |url=https://florabase.dpaw.wa.gov.au/browse/profile/36239|publisher=FloraBase|accessdate=13 August 2015}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=Eremaea violacea subsp. raphiophylla |url=https://florabase.dpaw.wa.gov.au/browse/profile/17459|publisher=FloraBase|accessdate=13 August 2015}} 7. ^1 {{cite web|title=Eremaea violacea |url=https://florabase.dpaw.wa.gov.au/browse/profile/5543|publisher=FloraBase|accessdate=11 August 2015}} 8. ^{{cite book|last1=Paczkowska|first1=Grazyna|last2=Chapman|first2=Alex R.|title=The Western Australian flora : a descriptive catalogue|date=2000|publisher=Wildflower Society of Western Australia|location=Perth|isbn=0646402439|page=363}} 5 : Eremaea (plant)|Myrtales of Australia|Flora of Western Australia|Plants described in 1878|Endemic flora of Western Australia |
