Boronia albiflora is a plant in the citrus family, Rutaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a soft shrub with pinnate leaves and pink or pink and white, four-petalled flowers.
Boronia albiflora is a soft, erect shrub that grows to a height of 0.1–0.7 m (0.3–2 ft) with its stems and branches covered with short, spreading hairs. Its leaves are pinnate with between seven and eleven leaflets, the leaflets more or less wedge-shaped and leathery with the edges often turned under. The flowers are pink or pink and white and are borne in leaf axils. The four sepals are lance-shaped to egg-shaped and covered with hairs. The four petals are glabrous, 9–11 mm (0.4–0.4 in) long and overlap at their bases. The filaments are club-shaped and have a glandular tip. Flowering occurs in most months.[2][3]
Boronia albiflora was first formally described in 1863 by George Bentham from an unpublished description by Robert Brown and the description was published in Flora Australiensis.[3][4] The specific epithet (albiflora) means "white-flowered".[5]
This boronia grows in near coastal areas in southern parts of the south-west of Western Australia, often growing in sandy soils.[2]
Boronia albiflora is classified as "not threatened" in Western Australia by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.[2]
