It is an open-branched shrub, often trailing between other plants, has strap-like leaves and pink to purple-red, four-petalled flowers in winter and autumn. DescriptionBoronia crenulata is a shrub which grows to a height of about {{convert|0.25-1.2|m|ft|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} and has weak, thin stems which often trail between other plants. The leaves are variable in shape, sometimes even on one plant, but in general are about {{convert|20|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|2|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide, strap-like or egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base. There are usually a few long soft hairs on the leaves and the margins of the leaves usually have a few small teeth.[1][2][3]The flowers are pink to reddish and are scattered singly or in small groups in leaf axils or at the ends of the stems.The flowers are about {{convert|1|cm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} in diameter on a stalk {{convert|4|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long. The sepals are egg-shaped to triangular, {{convert|1.5-2|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and usually have a sharp, pointed tip. There are four glabrous petals and eight stamens.[1][2][3] Taxonomy and namingBoronia crenulata was first formally described in 1807 by James Edward Smith and the description was published in Transactions of the Linnean Society of London.[4][5] The specific epithet (crenulata) is derived from the Latin word crena meaning "a notch or rounded projection"[6] referring to the teeth on the leaf margins.[2]There are four subspecies:
Distribution and habitatThis boronia occurs in a broad area of the south-west of Western Australia in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest, Mallee, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren biogeographic regions. It grows in a range of soils, from clay to limestone and from swampy coastal areas to the margins of salt lakes and rocky outcrops.[3] ConservationBoronia crenulata is listed as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife.[3]References1. ^1 {{cite journal|last1=Wilson|first1=Paul G.|title=New names and new taxa in the genus Boronia (Rutaceae) from Western Australia, with notes on seed characters|journal=Nuytsia|date=1998|volume=12|issue=1|pages=123–126}} {{Taxonbar|from=Q15387454}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Boronia crenulata}}2. ^1 2 {{cite book|last1=Marshall|first1=John|last2=Wilson|first2=Margaret|last3=Tullis|first3=Brian|title=Wildflowers of the West Coast Hills Region : the plants and flowers of the Darling Scarp and Range in the Kalamunda Shire, the backdrop to Perth, Western Australia|date=1990|publisher=Quality Publishing Australia|location=Western Australia|isbn=1875737243|page=64|edition=2002 (revised)}} 3. ^1 2 3 {{FloraBase|name=Boronia crenulata|id=4413}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|title=Boronia crenulata|url= https://id.biodiversity.org.au/instance/apni/464224|publisher=APNI|accessdate=22 October 2016}} 5. ^{{cite journal|last1=Smith|first1=James Edward|title=Characters of Three New Species of Boronia.|journal=Transactions of the Linnean Society of London|date=1807|volume=8|issue=28|page=284|url=https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/766804#page/299/mode/1up|accessdate=22 October 2016}} 6. ^{{cite book|last1=Brown|first1=Roland Wilbur|title=The Composition of Scientific Words|date=1956|publisher=Smithsonian Institution Press|location=Washington, D.C.|page = 562}} 3 : Boronia|Flora of Western Australia|Plants described in 1807 |
