Taxonomy and naming
Boronia alulata was first formally described in 1863 by George Bentham from an unpublished description by Daniel Solander. The description was published in Flora Australiensis from a specimen collected from near the Endeavour River. The specific epithet (alulata) is the diminutive form of the Latin word alatus meaning "winged", hence "with narrow wings".

Distribution and habitat
This boronia grows in woodland and heath on Cape York Peninsula as far south as near Cooktown.

Conservation
Boronia alulata is classified as "least concern" under the Queensland Government Nature Conservation Act 1992.
