The Eremophila Group is one of over 20 such Groups whose aims are to further knowledge about the cultivation, propagation and conservation of specific Australian plants. The Eremophila Study Group has been in operation for over 20 years and has produced over 60 informative newsletters describing members experiences in growing eremophilas in various parts of Australia and overseas as well as documenting botanical changes in the genus resulting from research carried out in a number of scientific institutions.

Members of the Group are mainly keen amateurs with no formal horticultural or botanical knowledge, although a number of professionals in those fields also participate. As in all study groups, the members' work is mainly carried out in their own homes and gardens and in their own spare time.

A booklet called "The Study Group Newsletters 1972 - 1985" was produced in 1991. It is an edited collection of the Group's newsletters over that period and costs $AUS8.75 posted within Australia.

The Study Group was also jointly responsible for the production (in 1997) of "Eremophilas for the Garden", a small book describing around 70 species with text and photographs. This book costs $AU11.50 posted within Australia.

Both publications can be obtained from Colin Jennings, 4 Kinnaird Crescent, Highbury, South Australia, 5089. Postage to overseas locations would be at cost.
