Boronia decumbens is a plant in the citrus family Rutaceae and is endemic to northern parts of the Northern Territory. It is a low, spreading shrub with pinnate leaves and white to pink flowers with the four sepals larger than the four petals.

Description

Boronia decumbens is a low, spreading (decumbent) shrub that grows to {{convert|10|cm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} high and {{convert|40|cm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. Its branches and leaves and some flower parts are moderately hairy. The leaves are {{convert|6-20|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|5-25|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide in outline with five or seven linear to narrow elliptic leaflets. The end leaflet is {{convert|6-12|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|0.5-1|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide and the side leaflets are {{convert|4-11|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|0.5-1|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. The flowers are sessile and arranged singly in leaf axil|s. The flowers are white to pink, the sepals larger than the petals. The four sepals are triangular, {{convert|4-6|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|1.5-3|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide but increase in size as the fruit develops. The four petals are {{convert|3-5|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|1-2|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. Flowering occurs from November to August.[2]

Taxonomy and naming

Boronia decumbens was first formally described in 1997 by Marco Duretto who published the description in Nuytsia.[3][4] The specific epithet (decumbens) is a Latin word meaning "lying down" or "reclining",[5] referring to the usual habit of this species.[4]

Distribution and habitat

This boronia grows in woodland in Kakadu National Park north of the Mary River and the Waterfall Creek turnoff.[2][6]
