It is a creeping, prostrate shrub with narrow, sticky, dark green leaves and distinctive orange-red to yellow flowers.

[2][3] The 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.

[7] In 2002, the total wild population was estimated to be 119 mature plants occurring in six locations to the south of Lake King.

Threats to the species include increasing salinity, waterlogging, road maintenance, vehicle damage and grazing by rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus).

Propagation from cuttings is easy and once established, the plant will grow in well-drained soil in a sunny or part-shaded position.
