Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Eremophila oppositifolia, also known as Weeooka or Twin -leaf Emu Bush, is a shrub or small tree which is native to Australia.This species can grow up to 10 metres in height and has white, cream, yellow, pink or red flowers between early autumn and mid spring (March to October in Australia).The first description of this species was published by botanist Robert Brown in 1810.The species occurs in Western Australia, South Australia, Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria.Brown was told to expect to sail at the end of 1800, only a few weeks after being offered the position. However a succession of delays meant the voyage did not get under way until July 1801. Brown spent much of the meantime preparing for the voyage by studying Banks' Australian plant specimens and copying out notes and descriptions for use on the voyage.
