Field Notes

Description:

An australian native tree with pendulous branches and long narrow bluish green leaves. The foliage was quite dense. The branches were covered with brown papery-skinned fruits about 15 mm diameter.
No flowers were seen.

Habitat:

Semi-arid to arid regions.

Notes:

Eremophila is derived from greek words -"eremos" =desert and "philo" = to love.
I spotted this tree with the curious brown fruit growing in a very dry area near an opal mining town in north central New South Wales ( australia).
It must have looked beautiful when flowering !
