Taxonomy and naming

This species was first formally described in 1798 by James Edward Smith who gave it the name Boronia polygalifolia in his book ''Tracts relating to natural history. In a 2013 paper in the journal Taxon, Marco Duretto and others changed the name to Cyanothamnus polygalifolius on the basis of cladistic analysis. The specific epithet (polygalifolius) is a reference to the similarity of the leaves of this species to those in the genus Polygala.

Distribution and habitat

Dwarf boronia grows in open forest, woodland and heath between the Blackdown Tableland and Kroombit Tops in Queensland and Moruya and Geehi in New South Wales. A single specimen has been recorded in eastern Victoria.
