Description

Boronia filifolia is a slender, glabrous shrub that grows to about Шаблон:Convert high. Its leaves are simple or trifoliate on a petiole up to Шаблон:Convert long.

Taxonomy and naming

Boronia filifolia was first formally described in 1858 by Ferdinand von Mueller who published the description in Fragmenta phytographiae Australiae from a specimen collected near Encounter Bay.[4][5] The specific epithet (filifolia) is derived from the Latin words filum meaning "thread"[6]Шаблон:Rp and folia meaning "leaves"[6]Шаблон:Rp referring to the very narrow leaflets.[2]

Distribution and habitat

Slender boronia grows in heath, mallee and woodland. In South Australia it is found on the Eyre and Fleurieu Peninsulas and is common on Kangaroo Island. It is rare in Victoria where it is only known in the Little Desert National Park and part of the Big Desert near the border with South Australia, with a disjunct population near Portland.[1][2]
