context_page_description: Eremophila hughesii is a flowering plant in the figwort family, Scrophulariaceae and is endemic to Australia. It is spindly, glabrous shrub with narrow leaves and with flowers that vary in colour from blue to pink, sometimes white. It is native to Western Australia and the Northern Territory.
context_section_description: Eremophila granitica is an open, straggly shrub which grows to between 0.9 and 3 m (3 and 10 ft) and which has slender branches covered with red-brown resin. The leaves are arranged alternately and often widely spaced along the branches. They are mostly 20–50 mm (0.8–2 in) long, 0.7–1.8 mm (0.03–0.07 in) wide, linear in shape, sometimes with a few small teeth near the tip.
  The flowers are borne singly in leaf axils on a hairy stalk 6–10 mm (0.2–0.4 in) long. There are 5 green to purple, egg-shaped to lance-shaped sepals which are 6–9.5 mm (0.2–0.4 in) long. The petals are 18–28 mm (0.7–1 in) long and are joined at their lower end to form a tube. The petal tube is white to pale lilac, often darker lilac-coloured on the top and cream to yellowish with purple spots inside. The outside of the tube and petal lobes are hairy but the inside of the lobes is glabrous and the inside of the tube is woolly. The 4 stamens are fully enclosed in the petal tube. Flowering occurs from April to November and is followed by fruits which are dry, woody, oval-shaped with a papery covering and 6–7 mm (0.2–0.3 in) long.
