Myoporaceae

Myoporaceae was a family of plants, found mostly in Australia,[1] which included the following genera:

Diocirea
Eremophila, also known as emu bush
Myoporum, also known as Boobiala

Eremophila hygrophana

In the APG II system (continued in the APG III system), it is considered to be part of a fairly small family Scrophulariaceae,[2] along with Buddleja and a variety of plants long classified in the Scrophulariaceae (such as Leucophyllum, North American shrubs which are the closest relatives to the former Myoporaceae.[1])
