Pomaderris cinerea is a shrub or tree that typically grows to a height of, its branches ribbed and covered with woolly, star-shaped hairs. The leaves are more or less elliptic to egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, long and wide, the upper surface with velvety hairs and the lower surface densely covered with star-shaped hairs. The flowers are borne in narrow panicles and lack petals. Flowering occurs in summer and the fruit is a hairy capsule.[1] [2]
Pomaderris cinerea was first formally described in 1863 by George Bentham in Flora Australiensis from specimens collected by Ferdinand von Mueller on Mount Imlay and at Twofold Bay.[3] [4] The specific epithet (cinerea) means "ash-covered or grey".[5]
This pomaderris grows in forest or near rainforest on near-coastal ranges from near Moruya to Bega in the far south-east of New South Wales.
