Belongs within: Scrophulariaceae.
Contains: Eremophila section Platychilus.

The Myoporaceae are a primarily Australasian group of shrubs and small trees, now recognised to be a phylogenetic subgroup of the family Scrophulariaceae.

Characters (from Black & Robertson 1965): Shrubs or small trees with exstipulate, simple, usually alternate leaves; flowers axillary, solitary or clustered, without bracteoles. Flowers bisexual, irregular or nearly regular; calyx persistent, usually five-lobed, or five-sectioned; corolla caducous, narrowed towards base of tube, upper part of tube swollen, with four or five almost equal imbricate lobes or sometimes two-lipped, upper lip or upper lobes outside others in bud; stamens usually four, inserted in corolla-tube and alternate with its lower lobes; anther-cells finally confluent at summit so as to form single cell, cells (or lobes) gradually diverging and spreading; ovary superior, normally of two carpels, two-celled, usually becoming four-celled by two intruding septal placentas (spurious disseptiments), with two or several pendulous anatropous ovules in each of the two cells, or sometimes the cells 2–2, distinct, uniovulate; micropyle superior; style simple; stigma entire or faintly notched; fruit a drupe, sometimes almost dry, the endocarp very hard; seeds with scanty albumen, straight embryo and superior radicle.

Bignonia emu-bush Eremophila bignoniiflora, copyright Tatters.

Belongs within: Myoporaceae.

The section Platychilus of the genus Eremophila is a group of emu-bushes in which the segments of the calyx are basally imbricate and the lips of the corolla are clearly demarcated (Black & Robertson 1965).
