Pomaderris obcordata
Wedge-leaved pomaderris is a small native shrub from south-eastern South Australia, growing to about 1 m with white to pink flowers from July to September. It is a hardy, drought-tolerant plant suited to dry, open native gardens.
Pomaderris obcordata, commonly known as wedge-leaved pomaderris, is a species of flowering plant in the family Rhamnaceae and is endemic to South Australia. It is a shrub with densely hairy branchlets, wedge-shaped, narrowly egg-shaped or heart-shaped leaves with the narrower end towards the base, and white to pink flowers.
Wedge-leaved pomaderris grows in mallee scrub, or heath and occurs in south-eastern South Australia, including on the Eyre and Yorke Peninsulas and Kangaroo Island. There are two records from far western Victoria, the most recent from 1969, but may be examples of inaccurate locality recording.
