It is a mallee endemic to Western Australia, restricted to the Mt Day area between Hyden and Norseman. The epithet of this species is from the Latin inceratus, meaning covered with wax.

Botanical Description
It is a mallee to 5m tall. It forms a lignotuber. The bark is smooth throughout, light grey-brown over orange. The branchlets are glaucous. The oil glands are present in the pith.
Juvenile leaves are not seen. The adult leaves are thick, alternate, petioles 0.5-1.7cm long. The blade is lanceolate, 5-10.5cm long, 1-3.2cm wide, base tapering to petiole, margin entire, apex pointed, concolorous, glaucous at first but maturing glossy, green, surface appearing "glazed". The side-veins are acute or obscure, reticulation not visible, intramarginal vein present or obscure, oil glands numerous.
The inflorescence is axillary unbranched, pendulous, peduncles flattened, 1.5-3.5cm long. There are 7 buds per umbel, pedicellate (pedicels 0.7-1.2cm long). The mature buds are elongated, 2.2-3.5cm long, 0.6-0.9cm wide (asymmetrically fusiform), glaucous, scar present (outer operculum shed early), operculum bluntly horn-shaped, circa 2-2.5 times the length of the hypanthium. The stamens are erect, anthers oblong, versatile, dorsifixed, dehiscing by longitudinal slits. The style is long and straight, stigma rounded, 4 locules, the placentae each with 4 vertical rows of ovules. The flowers are yellow.
The fruit is down-turned, pedicellate (pedicels 0.6-0.9cm long), stoutly barrel-shaped to cupular, 1-1.5cm long, 0.9-1.8cm wide, disc descending, obscured by persistent staminophore, 4 valves, held at rim level. The seeds are dark brown, 0.7-2mm long, ovoid to flattened-ovoid, dorsal surface shallowly reticulate, hilum ventral.
E. incerata differs from E. eremophila in having a lignotuber, i.e. it is a mallee, not a mallet, and in having heavily glaucous branchlets, buds and fruit, and in its restricted distribution. The non-glaucous E. eremophila occur to the east of the southern wheatbelt and is the only species in the group to extend into desert areas. Two mallee species, the non-glaucous E. tenera and the slightly waxy E. tephroclada have very similar slender buds and fruit that are generally smaller than found in typical E. eremophila and E. incerata. The only difference between E. tenera, which is widespread in the southern and central wheatbelt, and E. tephroclada, more restricted to the Hyden-Southern Cross area, is the presence of white wax on branchlets, buds and fruit of the latter.

Sowing instructions
SPRING Select the largest and most fleshy BROWN seeds. Sow the seeds at 2mm depth in the Well Drained Seed Sowing Mix between 64-72°F. During germination keep the substrate moist and in daylight. The seeds germinate in 3-14 weeks. The viability of the seeds, kept under good conditions, is 10 years.
The average seed weight is 1694,9 per gram (0,00059g).
