| Species: | Blue Boronia (Boronia coerulescens ssp coerulescens)| This Photo: | 🔍Habit🔎 | Synonym: | Cyanothamnus coerulescens ssp coerulescens | Thank you Ralph Foster, Alan Dandie (Alan_Dandie) & Dr Marco Duretto for confirming the id of this species for us General Species Information: Found in the Murray Mallee SA and possibly elsewhere This sub-species is the only Boronia coerulescens in SA. There were a number of bushes with these pink flowers on them. Clearly a genetic aberation. Darren Schmitke thought they were "sports". But then he & Marie discovered they looked like different plants, coming out of the ground a couple of centimetres apart. We still think they are a type of "sport", but suckering from the roots rather than up the stem as a branch. This occurred with a number of plants and they all looked like one plant. There wasn't a pink flowering plant on it's own.
