About

Pomaderris is a genus of about 80 species of flowering plants in the family Rhamnaceae. The genus is mostly native to Australia, but is also present in New Zealand. Plants in the genus Pomaderris are usually shrubs, sometimes small trees with simple leaves arranged alternately along the branches and bisexual, woolly-hairy flowers arranged in racemes or panicles. The flowers are usually yellow and often lack petals.

How to grow it

A few of species in this genus are known to horticulture; the most commonly cultivated species is P. aspera, the hazel pomaderris.

Where it grows

Species of Pomaderris occur in all Australian states and the Australian Capital Territory, but not the Northern Territory and in both the North and South Islands of New Zealand. Sixty-five of the species are native to Australia and the other five are from New Zealand. There is some overlap. A distinctive feature of the leaves, branches, and twigs of this genus, is that they are hairy.
