Eremophila hygrophana, also known as the blue emu bush,[2] is a flowering plant in the figwort family, Scrophulariaceae and is endemic to Australia.
Flowering occurs from July to December and is followed by fruits which are oval-shaped to cone-shaped with a hairy covering and 6–8 mm (0.2–0.3 in) long.
[5] The specific epithet (hygrophana) is derived from Ancient Greek words meaning "changing colour during the drying process".
[3] Eremophila hygrophana is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.
[6] This small eremophila is one of the most attractive in cultivation with its sometimes golden, furry leaves and large purple flowers which are present through most months.
