Border Boronia
Boronia repanda
High on a north-facing ridge, tucked between Stanthorpe and the Broadwater State Forest in southern Queensland, a small group of remarkable people are pouring over a tiny pink flower. The flower, is Boronia repanda, otherwise known as the Border Boronia, or even more amiably, the Granite Rose. The people are Liz Bourne, Peter Pemberton and Associate Professor Don Sands. The team are working on some of our state’s rarest plants, including many species of boronias, and their passion has led to some remarkable discoveries, here in Queensland’s stunning Granite Belt!
