Taxonomy and naming

This species was first formally described in 1863 by George Bentham who gave it the name Boronia inconspicua in Flora Australiensis from a specimen collected by James Drummond.[3][4] In a 2013 paper in the journal Taxon, Marco Duretto and others changed the name to Cyanothamnus inconspicuus on the basis of cladistic analysis.[5] The specific epithet (inconspicuus) is Latin word meaning "not readily visible" or "not prominent".[6]

Distribution and habitat

This boronia usually grows on rocky outcrops and is found from the Stirling Range to Mount Ragged in the Esperance Plains and Mallee biogeographic regions.[1][2]

Conservation

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