Eurah

Eremophila bignoniiflora, commonly known as Bignonia emu bush, creek wilga, dogwood and river argee, is a plant in the figwort family, Scrophulariaceae, endemic to the Northern Territory and all mainland states of Australia. Various Aboriginal Australian groups use it as a bush medicine, and it is known as eurah or eura in Kamilaroi, gooramurra in Jingulu and kurumbimi in Mudburra. It is a spreading, weeping shrub or small tree with some of the longest leaves in the Eremophila genus, long and strap-like, and relatively large flowers adapted to pollination by birds. The petal tube is cream with crimson spots. It grows on floodplains around major drainage systems. Aboriginal people used gooramurra as a bush medicine, and oils extracted from it showed antimicrobial activity against the yeast Candida albicans and the bacterium Staphylococcus epidermidis.
