Boronia clavata is a plant that is only known from the Great Southern Area of Western Australia around around Bremer Bay and Fitzgerald National Park. The name Boronia honors the Italian naturalist and plant collector Francesco Borone (1769 - 1794) the specific epithet is from the Latin word 'clava' meaning club in reference to the shape of the flower organs.

This plant was a 2004 University of California Santa Cruz Arboretum Koala Blooms Introduction that was available from San Marcos Growers, Rosendale Nursery, Suncrest Nursery and Monterey Bay Nursery. We grew this nice plant from 2004 until 2014 but it didn't get good recognition in the trade so did not sell that well and it was hard to keep nice looking for extended periods in containers.
