I got this from the Australian Macquarie dictionary:
dapper
// adjective 1. neat; trim; smart. 2. small and active. [Middle English: pretty, elegant]
--dapperly, adverb
--dapperness, noun
In which case, boronia, elegant for women seems right. I had no idea that dapper meant 'small and active' though, interesting... some people wouldn't want to be called dapper I imagine, but I've always thought of it as a compliment.
