Taxonomy and naming
This species was first formally described in 1798 by James Edward Smith who gave it the name Boronia polygalifolia in his book ''Tracts relating to natural history.[5][6] In a 2013 paper in the journal Taxon, Marco Duretto and others changed the name to Cyanothamnus polygalifolius on the basis of cladistic analysis.[7] The specific epithet (polygalifolius) is a reference to the similarity of the leaves of this species to those in the genus Polygala.[4]
Distribution and habitat
Dwarf boronia grows in open forest, woodland and heath between the Blackdown Tableland and Kroombit Tops in Queensland and Moruya and Geehi in New South Wales. A single specimen has been recorded in eastern Victoria.[1][2][3]
