taxonomic synonym: Eremophila koobabbiensis Chinnock manuscript name taxonomic synonym: Eremophila sp. Koobabbie (R.J.Chinnock 9540) Chinnock [n/a] common name: Koobabbie eremophila [n/a]
  • Etymology: "Taken from the farm to which this species is thought to be restricted."
  • Comment: "The authors prefer Koobabbie eremophila as a common name rather than Koobabbie poverty bush. This latter name adopted in the Interim Recovery Plan by Douglas et al. (2007) is considered inappropriate as 'poverty bush' has normally been applied to non-palatable eremophila species in the pastoral areas that tend to increase as land becomes degraded or over-grazed."
