The petal tube and lobes are mostly glabrous except that the inside of the tube is filled with long, soft hairs. The 4 stamens are fully enclosed in the petal tube. Flowering occurs from May to December and the fruits which follow are cone-shaped with a pointed end, glabrous and 7.5–9.5 mm (0.3–0.4 in) long. [2] [3]
The petal tube and lobes are hairy on the outside, the petal lobes are glabrous on the inside, and the inside of the tube is filled with woolly hairs. The 4 stamens are fully enclosed in the petal tube. Flowering time depends on subspecies. The fruits are dry, oval to cone-shaped, 2.5–4 mm (0.1–0.2 in) long and have a hairy, papery covering.
The outside of the tube and the petal lobes are almost glabrous but the inside of the tube is filled with woolly hairs. The petal lobes are rounded but have a small point in their centres. The 4 stamens are fully enclosed within the tube. The fruits are oval to cone-shaped, 7–9.5 mm (0.3–0.4 in) long and are woody with a papery covering. [2]
The 4 stamens are fully enclosed in the petal tube. Flowering occurs from June to September and the fruit which follow are dry, oval to cone-shaped, ribbed, 5.5–7 mm (0.2–0.3 in) long and have a papery covering.

Eremophila spathulata is a shrub with many tangled branches and which grows to a height of between 0.6 and 1.0 m (2 and 3 ft). It branches and leaves are covered with a layer of tangled, silvery-grey hairs which are pressed against the surface.
The petal tube is purple to lilac-coloured, sometimes white and is spotted with dark purple inside the tube. The outside of the tube and the petal lobes are covered with branched hairs but the inner surface of the lobes is glabrous while the tube is filled with long, cobweb-like hairs. The 4 stamens are fully enclosed in the petal tube.
The species was first formally described in 1956 by Lindsay Stuart Smith and the description was published in Proceedings of the Royal Society of Queensland. [5] The specific epithet (obovata) is derived from the Latin word meaning "ovatus" meaning "egg-shaped" [6]: 580 with the prefix ob meaning "opposite", [6]: 804 hence "reverse egg-shaped", referring to the shape of the leaves.
Eremophila granitica is an erect, open or straggling shrub which grows to a height of between 0.5 and 2.5 m (2 and 8 ft) with sticky, wrinkled, shiny branches. The leaves are arranged alternately along the stems and are mostly 16–38 mm (0.6–1 in) long, 0.8–1.5 mm (0.03–0.06 in) wide, linear, sometimes with a few small teeth along the edges.
