About

Pomaderris helianthemifolia is a species of flowering plant in the family Rhamnaceae and is endemic to south-eastern continental Australia. It is a bushy shrub with hairy young stems, narrowly elliptic to lance-shaped leaves with the narrower end towards the base, and small panicles of hairy yellowish flowers.

Where it grows

This pomaderris usually grows on the banks of rocky streams. Subspecies helianthemifolia is only known from two restricted areas in Gippsland, in the Maffra-Briagolong area and near the Genoa River. Subspecies hispida is widespread, but not common in a few locations in New South Wales and in north-eastern Victoria and subspecies minor is found in north-eastern Victoria, but no longer occurs near Bendigo.
