Taxonomy and naming

This species was first formally described in 1863 by George Bentham who gave it the name Boronia penicillata 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 anemonifolus on the basis of cladistic analysis.[5] The specific epithet (penicillatus) is derived from the Latin word penicillum meaning "little tail", "painter's brush" or "tuft".[6]

Distribution and habitat

This boronia grows in sand and has a disjunct distribution between Toodyay and the Fitzgerald River.[1]

Conservation

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