About Boronia gracilipes F.Muell.

Boronia gracilipes is an erect, spindly shrub that typically grows to 0.3–1.2 meters (0.98–3.9 feet) in height, with stems covered in long, soft hairs. It produces flat compound leaves less than 10 millimeters (0.39 inches) long, usually bearing five or seven lance-shaped to oblong leaflets. Its pink flowers are arranged singly in leaf axils, on a pedicel 10–30 millimeters (0.39–1.2 inches) long. This species has four triangular to nearly round sepals that overlap at their bases. The petals are around 8 millimeters (0.31 inches) long, glabrous, and overlapping at their bases. The stigma is large and oval, with an almost absent style. Flowering occurs mainly between July and December. This plant, commonly known as karri boronia, grows in shady sites in gullies and on granite outcrops, found in the Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest and Warren biogeographic regions of Western Australia.
