Acacia Translucens
''Acacia translucens'', commonly known as poverty bush, is a shrub that is endemic to a large area of north western Australia. Description Poverty bush is a low, spreading shrub with a flat top that grows to a height of and a width of around and that branches near ground level and has dark grey to black coloured bark that is quite smooth. As with many arid shrubland ''Acacia'' species, it has phyllodes instead of leaves. The thinly leathery dull grey-green phyllodes have a narrowly elliptic to elliptic shape and are curved and slightly sigmoid with a length of in length and with a width of with three more or less visible main nerves. It blooms between March and November. Its flowers are yellow, and held in spherical clusters about in diameter. The seed pods are held erect above the foliage, instead of hanging down like most ''Acacia''s. The brittle, thinly woody, brown to black coloured seed pods that are formed after flowering have a narrowly oblanceolate to oblanceolate ...

Acacia Stellaticeps
''Acacia stellaticeps'', commonly known as the Northern star wattle, poverty bush and glistening wattle.

Eremophila (plant)
''Eremophila'' is a genus of more than 260 species of plants in the figwort family, Scrophulariaceae all of which are endemic to mainland Australia. (One species, '' Eremophila debilis'' is thought to be a recent arrival in New Zealand). Eremophilas are widespread in the arid areas of Australia, especially Western Australia and range in size from low-growing shrubs to small trees. The petals are joined, at least at their bases, into a tube with the upper petals different in size and shape from the lower ones. Some species have common names including emu bush, poverty bush or fuchsia bush, reflecting the belief that emus eat the fruit, their arid environment or a superficial resemblance to the flowers of plants in the genus ''Fuchsia''. Description Eremophilas vary in size and habit from low, prostrate shrubs such as '' E. serpens'' to small trees in the case of '' E. bignoniiflora''. Leaf size and shape is also variable but the leaves are usually small and are often shiny or ...
