It was first formally described in 1932 by Albert Ulrich Däniker then transferred to the genus Boronella in 1995 by Thomas Gordon Hartley as Boronella koniambiensis.[1] In 2015, all the species in Boronella were transferred to Boronia on the basis of molecular phylogenetic analysis.[2]
This boronia occurs on the Koniambo Massif on the island of Grande Terre, the main island of New Caledonia.[3] It is listed as "Vulnerable" (as Boronella koniamboensis) on the IUCN Red List.[4]
