About Boronia falcifolia A.Cunn. ex Endl.
Boronia falcifolia A.Cunn. ex Endl. is a shrub that grows to a height of 0.3 to 1 meter (1 to 3 feet), and has a small number of glabrous, angled stems. Its leaves are either simple or trifoliate, 3 to 25 millimeters (0.12 to 0.98 inches) long and around 1 millimeter (0.039 inches) wide, with a petiole 3 to 15 millimeters (0.12 to 0.59 inches) long. Leaflets are roughly circular in cross-section, most often curved, and the terminal leaflet matches the side leaflets in size and shape. Up to three bright pink flowers, each around 10 millimeters (0.4 inches) in diameter, grow in the upper leaf axils. Each flower sits on a pedicel 2 to 9 millimeters (0.08 to 0.4 inches) long. This species has four narrow triangular sepals around 4 millimeters (0.2 inches) long and 1 millimeter (0.04 inches) wide, and four petals 4 to 8 millimeters (0.2 to 0.3 inches) long, each with a small point at the tip. The eight stamens are slightly hairy. Flowering occurs mostly from August to October. The fruit are glabrous, 2.5 to 4 millimeters (0.098 to 0.16 inches) long and around 2 millimeters (0.079 inches) wide. This plant, commonly called wallum boronia, grows in wallum and heath on deep sandy soil, and sometimes grows in woodland. It occurs in near-coastal areas between Littabella National Park in Queensland and Myall Lakes National Park in New South Wales.
