 P. Delisserii have only 1 ovule in each of the ovary-cells as in the majority of Myopora. From Eremophila, Pholidia differs in the more regular corolla, the calyx-segments never enlarged after flowering, the stamens not exserted, the ovules never superposed in each half cell, and the fruit not separating into 1 seeded nuts as in the Section Eremocosmos, nor so succulent as in Stenochilus, but none of the latter characters are constant through all the species of Eremophila, and the fruits of some species are as yet unknown. The distinction between Pholidia and Eremophila is not, therefore, more definite than that between Pholidia and Myoporum.

Leaves mostly opposite, hoary or white, almost scaly, usually recurved at the end. Flowers sessile or nearly so.
