Cyanothamnus is a genus of flowering plant in the family Rutaceae, native to Australia.[2] Plants in the genus Cyanothamnus are erect or spreading shrubs usually with pinnate leaves (simple leaves in C. anemonifolius and C. nanus) arranged in opposite pairs, the leaves or leaflets flat. The flowers are arranged singly or in cymes with minute bracts. The petals are usually pink or white, sometimes blue or yellowish-green.[3]
Taxonomy
[edit | edit source]The genus was first described in 1839 by John Lindley in A Sketch of the Vegetation of the Swan River Colony.[1][4] Most of the species now placed in the genus were first described in the genus Boronia, with which Cyanothamnus was synonymized. A molecular phylogenetic study in 2020 showed that as then circumscribed Boronia was polyphyletic, and Lindley's genus was revived.[5] A 2021 classification of the family Rutaceae places Cyanothamnus in the subfamily Zanthoxyloideae.[6]
