Pomaderris kumeraho
Kūmarahou (Pomaderris kumeraho) is a shrub endemic to the North Island of New Zealand, reaching 2.5 to 4 m, with small pale yellow flower clusters in spring. It tolerates poor, barren ground, so it suits free-draining sites with full sun.

Pomaderris kumeraho is endemic to New Zealand, found in the north the North Island, as far south at the Kawhia Harbour and the northern Bay of Plenty. The plant grows in coastal and lowland areas, typically found near roadsides or in regenerating bush. As it is able to grow in barren areas, it grows in gumlands and became associated with kauri gum diggers' fields in the north of New Zealand.
