Taxonomy and naming
This species was first formally described in 1863 by Ferdinand von Mueller who gave it the name Boronia baeckeacea in Fragmenta phytographiae Australiae.[3] Mueller did not give a reason for using the specific epithet (baeckeacea), but noted that the shrub has "a stature of [some species of] Baeckea.[4]
In a 2013 paper in the journal Taxon, Marco Duretto and others changed the name to Cyanothamnus baeckeaceus on the basis of cladistic analysis.[5]
Two subspecies were described by Paul G.Wilson in the journal Nuytsia and the names have subsequently been changed to reflect the change in the genus name:
- Cyanothamnus baeckeaceus subsp. baeckeaceus (the autonym) which has simple, erect, almost round leaves Шаблон:Convert long and grows in a variety of situations between Pingrup and Mount Ragged in the Cape Arid National Park;[2]
- Cyanothamnus baeckeaceus subsp. patulus[6] which has more or less spreading, simple or trifoliate, broadly elliptic to egg-shaped leaves Шаблон:Convert long and grows in mallee near Mount Ney and Mount Heywood north-east of Esperance.[2]
Conservation
Subspecies baeckeaceus is classed as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife[7] but subspecies patulus is classes as "Priority One" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife,[8] meaning that it is known from only one or a few locations which are potentially at risk.[9]
