Pomaderris pauciflora is a species of flowering plant in the family Rhamnaceae and is endemic to the south-east of continental Australia. It is a shrub with hairy stems, mostly lance-shaped leaves with the narrower end towards the base, and panicles of cream-coloured flowers.
Pomaderris pauciflora is a shrub that typically grows to a height of, its stems densely covered with woolly, star-shaped hairs. The leaves are lance-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, usually long and wide with more or less wavy edges. The upper surface of the leaves have a few bristly hairs, the lower surface densely covered with woolly, star-shaped hairs. The flowers are cream-coloured and borne in leafy panicles, each flower on a pedicel long. The petal-like sepals are long but soon fall off, and there are no petals. Flowering occurs in October and November and the fruit is a hairy capsule.[1] [2] [3]
Pomaderris pauciflora was first formally described in 1951 by Norman Arthur Wakefield in The Victorian Naturalist from specimens collected near the Upper Genoa River in 1948.[4] [5] The specific epithet (pauciflora) means "few-flowered".[6]
This pomaderris usually grows in rocky places along watercourses from south of Merriwa in New South Wales to the banks of the Genoa and Snowy Rivers in Victoria.
