Boronia fraseri is a plant in the citrus family occurring near Sydney in Australia.[1] It was officially described by William Jackson Hooker in 1843,[2] deriving its species name from Charles Fraser, the first superindentent of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney.[3]
Unlike many Boronia plants, it prefers moist gullies and rainforest areas, on soils based on sandstone. The four petalled pink flowers are relatively large, up to 24 mm wide. The plant grows to 1.5 metres tall, and is almost hairless, apart from tiny stellate hairs on the branches. A rare plant, with a ROTAP rating of 2RCa. Well drained soils with part shade are advised for cultivation.
Boronia "Telopea Valley Star" is a hybrid between this species and Boronia mollis, which is hardier and has been grown in Australian gardens.[3]
