Taxonomy and naming

This species was first formally described in 1863 by George Bentham and given the name Boronia subsessilis 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 subsessilis on the basis of cladistic analysis.[5] The specific epithet (subsessilis) is derived from the Latin word sessilis meaning "sitting"[6]Шаблон:Rp with the prefix "sub-" meaning "under", "from", "somewhat" or "less than".[6]Шаблон:Rp

Distribution and habitat

Cyanothamnus subsessilis grows on rocky hills and in sand between Toodyay, Denmark and Ravensthorpe.[1][2]

Conservation

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