List of Boronia species facts for kids
In 2020, scientists studied the Boronia plants very closely, looking at their DNA. They discovered that not all plants previously called Boronia were actually closely related. Because of this, some species were moved to a new group called Cyanothamnus. This change was officially accepted in 2021. This list shows the Boronia species that are officially recognized today, as of September 2021, according to Plants of the World Online.

Former Boronia Species
Some plants that used to be called Boronia are now in different groups. This happened because scientists learned more about how these plants are related, especially after looking at their DNA. Most of these plants have been moved to a genus called Cyanothamnus. Here are some examples of species that are no longer considered Boronia:
- Cyanothamnus acanthocladus (Paul G.Wilson) Duretto & Heslewood (used to be Boronia acanthoclada)
