Emmenanthe penduliflora, known by the common name whispering bells, is a species of flowering plant in the family Boraginaceae.

[1] Emmenanthe penduliflora has fleshy foliage which exudes a sticky juice with a light medicinal odor.

Inflorescence is a terminal cluster of flowers, borne on slender pedicels less than 1 inch long.

The dry hanging flowers make a rustling sound when a breeze comes through, giving the whispering bells its common name.

In Baja California, it is common in the northwestern part of the state, and ranges into the Central Desert.
