In 2003, Marco Duretto described four subspecies and the names are accepted by the Australian Plant Census:

• Boronia pilosa subsp. parvidaemonis;
• Boronia pilosa subsp. pilosa;
• Boronia pilosa subsp. tasmanensis;
• Boronia pilosa subsp. torquata.

Distribution and habitat

Hairy boronia grows in woodland and heath, sometimes in exposed areas and is found in Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia.
