Description

Boronia rubiginosa is a shrub that grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt with more or less hairy branchlets. The leaves are pinnate with between three and seven elliptic to spatula-shaped leaflets that are paler on the lower surface. The leaves are Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide in outline, on a petiole Шаблон:Cvt long. The end leaflet is Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide and the side leaflets are shorter and narrower. Up to three pale to bright pink, woolly-hairy flowers are arranged in leaf axils on a peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, the individual flowers on a pedicel Шаблон:Convert long. The four sepals are egg-shaped to triangular, Шаблон:Convert long, Шаблон:Convert wide. The four petals are Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide. The eight stamens alternate in length with those near the sepals slightly longer than those near the petals.

Taxonomy and naming

Boronia rubiginosa was first named and described by Allan Cunningham but his description was first published in 1837 by Stephan Endlicher in his book Enumeratio plantarum quas in Novae Hollandiae ora austro-occidentali ad fluvium Cygnorum et in sinu Regis Georgii collegit Carolus Liber Baro de Hügel. Cunningham collected the type specimen near the Hunter River[4][5][6] The specific epithet (rubiginosa) is a Latin word meaning "rusty".[7]

Distribution and habitat

Boronia rubiginosa grows in dry woodland on sandstone between Berrima and Lees Pinch in the Goulburn River National Park. Boronia ruppii which grows on serpentite in the Barraba area, was previously included in this species.[1]
