Taxonomy and naming

Boronia fraseri was first formally described by William Jackson Hooker in 1843 and the description was published in The Botanical Magazine.[6] The specific epithet (fraseri) honours Charles Fraser, the first superintendent of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney.[1]

Distribution and habitat

Unlike many Boronia plants, Fraser's boronia prefers moist gullies and rainforest areas, often on soils based on Narrabeen sandstone[7] and is found mainly in the Sydney region but also occurs in the Blue Mountains.[3]

Conservation

Fraser's boronia is rare plant, with a ROTAP rating of 2RCa.[1]

Use in horticulture

Well drained soils with part shade are advised for cultivation. Boronia "Telopea Valley Star" is a hybrid between this species and Boronia mollis, which is hardier and has been grown in Australian gardens.[1]
