Taxonomy and naming

Boronia palasepala was first formally described in 1999 by Marco F.

Distribution and habitat

This boronia grows in open eucalypt forest or woodland on sandstone from near Monto to Biloela in Queensland.[2]

Conservation

Boronia palasepala is classed as "least concern" under the Queensland Government Nature Conservation Act 1992.[5]
