Taxonomy and naming

This species was first formally described in 1875 by Ferdinand von Mueller who gave it the name Boronia defoliata in Fragmenta phytographiae Australiae. The type specimen was collected by James Drummond.[3][4] In a 2013 paper in the journal Taxon, Marco Duretto and others changed the name to Cyanothamnus defoliatus on the basis of cladistic analysis.[5] The specific epithet (defoliatus) means "without leaves".[6]

Distribution and habitat

Cyanothamnus defoliatus grows in sand, gravel and laterite between Capel and Manjimup in the Jarrah Forest, Mallee, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren biogeographic regions.[1][2]

Conservation

Cyanothamnus defoliatus is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.[2]
