Boronia molloyae (commonly called the Tall Boronia) is a shrub in the Boronia genus that grows in sandy soils in South West coastal regions of Western Australia. It is a slender shrub with springtime red-pink flowers commonly found along creeks, streams and swamps. It grows to about 3 metres.[1]
James Drummond proposed the name Boronia molloyi in 1842, however this was overlooked and it was named B. elatior in 1844 by Friedrich Gottlieb Bartling and as B. semifertilis in 1861 by Ferdinand von Mueller.[2] In the 1970s B. elatior was renamed to its current name, adjusted with the feminine latinate suffix.[3] It is the only plant named after botanical collector Georgiana Molloy.[3]
