Taxonomy and naming

Boronia minutipinna was first formally described in 1997 by Marco F. Duretto from a specimen collected on the Osmond Plateau, and the description was published in Nuytsia.[4][1] According to Duretto, the specific epithet (minutipinna) is derived from the Latin minutas meaning "small" and pinnae meaning "wings", referring to the small leaflets.[1] The word for "small" in classical Latin is minutus (masculine), minuta (feminine) or minutum (neuter).[5]

Distribution and habitat

Boronia minutipinna is only known from the Osmond Plateau in the Kimberley region of Western Australia where it grows in sand between boulders.[1][6]

Conservation

This boronia is classified as "Priority Two" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife[6] meaning that it is poorly known and from only one or a few locations.[7]
