There are 5 green or pinkish to purple, sticky, shiny sepals which are lance-shaped, pointed, hairy on the inside, glabrous on the outside and 5–8.5 mm (0.2–0.3 in) long.

Flowering occurs from August to September and the fruits which follow are broad oval-shaped, 4.5–5.5 mm (0.18–0.22 in) long and have a hard, brittle, hairy covering.

[2][3] This 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.

[2][3][4] Eremophila succinea grows in sandy clay soil in scattered locations between Norseman, Peak Charles and Lake King[2][3] in the Coolgardie and Mallee biogeographic regions.

[5] This eremophila is classified as "Priority Three" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife[5] meaning that it is poorly known and known from only a few locations but is not under imminent threat.
