Cyanothamnus rigenss, commonly known as the stiff boronia,[1] is a plant in the citrus family Rutaceae and is endemic to south-eastern New South Wales in Australia. It is a low, compact shrub with mostly trifoliate, glandular leaves and white to pale pink, four-petalled flowers in the leaf axils.

Description

Cyanothamnus rigens is a compact shrub that grows to a height of Шаблон:Convert with more or less hairy younger stems. The leaves are trifoliate with a petiole Шаблон:Convert long. The leaflets are thick, often warty, narrow elliptic, Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide. The flowers are white to pale pink and are arranged singly in leaf axils on a pedicel Шаблон:Convert long. The four sepals are triangular to broadly egg-shaped, Шаблон:Convert long, Шаблон:Convert wide and hairy. The four petals are Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide. The eight stamens alternate in length with those near the sepals slightly longer than those near the petals. The stigma is about the same width as the style. Flowering occurs from July to August and the fruit is a mostly glabrous capsule Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide.[1][2]

Taxonomy and naming

The stiff boronia was first formally described in 1863 by George Bentham who gave it the name Boronia polygalifolia var. robusta and published the name in Flora Australiensis.[3][4] In 1929 Edwin Cheel gave it the name Boronia rigens and published the description in Journal and Proceedings of the Royal Society of New South Wales.[5][6] In a 2013 paper in the journal Taxon, Marco Duretto and others changed the name to Cyanothamnus rigens on the basis of cladistic analysis.[7] The specific epithet (rigens) possibly refers to the habit of this species compared to that of B. polygalifolia and B. nana.[2]

Distribution and habitat

Cyanothamnus rigens grows in heath and forest, sometimes on stabilised dunes between Bombala and Mt Coricudgy east of Rylstone.[1]
