Taxonomy and naming

Boronia latipinna was first formally described in 1957 by James Hamlyn Willis who published the description in The Victorian Naturalist from a specimen collected by Herbert Bennett Williamson on the summit of Mount Dulwil.[3][4][5] The specific epithet (latipinna) is derived from the Latin words latus meaning "broad or wide" and pinna meaning "leaflet", referring to the leaflets of this species when compared to those of B. pinnata.[2]

Distribution and habitat

All known populations of the Grampians boronia are confined to the Grampians National Park where they grow in forest, woodland and heath in soils derived from sandstone.[2]
