Boronia muelleri, the forest boronia, is a flowering plant that occurs in open forest in Victoria and New South Wales in Australia.[2][3] It grows to between 0.8 and 3 metres in height and has scented, pinnate leaves which have 7 and 17 leaflets, each 5 to 25 mm long and 1 to 3 mm wide.[2] Pale pink flowers appear between October and February in the species native range. These are produced in clusters of 1 to 7 on 7 to 15 mm long pedicels.[2]

Two cultivars are registered with the Australian Cultivar Registration Authority, 'Snowy River' and 'Sunset Serenade'.[1]
