Taxonomy and naming

Dwarf boronia was first formally described in 1840 by William Jackson Hooker who gave it the name Boronia nana in Icones Plantarum from a specimen collected by Ronald Campbell Gunn on top of Rocky Cape.[4][5] In a 2013 paper in the journal Taxon, Marco Duretto and others changed the name to Cyanothamnus nanus on the basis of cladistic analysis.[6]

The names of three varieties have been accepted by Plants of the World Online:
