eremophila, commonly known as desert spurge,[1] is a subspecies of herb or shrub native to Australia.

[1][2] This taxon was first published by Allan Cunningham in 1848, at species rank as Euphorbia eremophila.

In 1977 David Hassall demoted it to a variety of E. tannensis.

At the same time he did the same thing for E. finlaysonii, and since he felt these two to be more closely related to each other than either is to the type material of E. tannensis, he erected E. tannensis subsp.

Thus this subspecies comprises two varieties: E. tannensis var.
