sentences:  "Eremophila decipiens" is sometimes mistaken for "Eremophila glabra" but the latter species lacks a long, S-shaped flower stalk.The species was first formally described in 1921 by Carl Hansen Ostenfeld in "Biologiske meddelelser, Kongelige Danske Videnskabernes Selskab".The specific epithet is from the Latin "decipiens", 'deceiving', 'false', referring to the similarity of this species to "E. maculata".
