Winter Apple

Eremophila debilis, commonly known as "winter apple" or "amulla", is a flowering plant in the figwort family Scrophulariaceae, and is endemic to an area extending from north Queensland to near the border between New South Wales and Victoria in Australia. It is a prostrate shrub with lance-shaped leaves and white, rarely deep mauve flowers. This species is also a bush tucker plant. Flowering occurs in spring to summer with red to purple succulent mature fruit (drupes) developing in February - March. The bitter fruits were eaten by Aboriginal people. Eremophila debilis is widespread in eastern Queensland and New South Wales in a wide range of soils and vegetation associations, often in box and white cypress communities, sometimes forming dense mats.

PS: In the indigenous Ugarapul language, this plant is known as "Gundullum".
