Boronia tenuis
Cyanothamnus tenuis, blue boronia, is a slender Western Australian shrub in the citrus family with thread-like leaves and small pink-and-blue flowers. It is a wild native rather than a common garden plant, so its care is best matched to its native stony, well-drained habitat.
Cyanothamnus tenuis, commonly known as blue boronia, is a species of plant in the citrus family, Rutaceae, and is endemic to the southwest of Western Australia. It is a slender shrub with thread-like, sessile leaves, and flowers with four petals that are white to pink on the front and pale blue on the back.
This species grows on laterite and granite in stony soils. It is found on the Darling Scarp between Dwellingup and Wannamal in the Jarrah Forest and Swan Coastal Plain biogeographic regions.
