Eremophila vernicosa, commonly known as resinous poverty bush, is a flowering plant in the figwort family, Scrophulariaceae and is endemic to Western Australia.

Eremophila vernicosa is an erect shrub which grows to a height of up to 2 m (7 ft) with glabrous branches which are thickly covered with resin, making them appear varnished when young, or white when mature.

[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.

[4][2] This eremophila occurs in the Kalannie - Gunyidi area[3] in the Avon Wheatbelt biogeographic region[5] where it grows on the slopes of low lateritic hills.

It can be propagated from cuttings and grows well on its own roots in a wide range of soil types in a sunny position or in part shade.
