Boronia thedae, commonly known as the Theda boronia,[1] is a plant in the citrus family, Rutaceae and is endemic to a small area in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. It is an erect shrub when young, later a prostrate shrub with many branches, pinnate leaves, four white to cream-coloured or pale pink sepals and four similarly coloured petals, the sepals longer and wider than the petals.
Description
Boronia thedae is an erect, hairy shrub when young, later a spreading or prostrate, more or less glabrous shrub with many branches. It grows to about Шаблон:Cvt high and Шаблон:Cvt wide. The leaves are arranged in opposite pairs, pinnate, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide in outline, with mostly five to fifteen leaflets. The end leaflet is Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide and the side leaflets are shorter. The flowers are usually borne singly in leaf axils on a stalk Шаблон:Cvt long. The four sepals are white or cream-coloured to pale pink, narrow triangular to egg-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long, Шаблон:Cvt wide, hairy on the back and longer and wider than the petals. The four petals are a similar colour to the sepals but with a dark pink base, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide and moderately hairy on both surfaces. The eight stamens are hairy with those nearest the sepals having a much larger anther than those near the petals.[1][2]
Taxonomy and naming
Boronia thedae was first formally described in 2015 by Russell Barrett, Matthew Barrett and Marco Duretto and the description was published in Nuytsia from a specimen collected on Theda Station in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.[1][3] The specific epithet (thedae) refers to the type location, Theda Station, which in turn, was named after the wife of the founder of the station lease.[1]
Distribution and habitat
Theda boronia is only known from Theda Station and from there to near Drysdale River National Park. It grows in woodland between sandstone boulders.[1][2]
Conservation status
Boronia thedae is classified as "Priority One" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife,[2] meaning that it is known from only one or a few locations which are potentially at risk.[4]
