Pomaderris andromedifolia is a species of flowering plant in the family Rhamnaceae and is endemic to south-eastern continental Australia. It is a shrub with lance-shaped to elliptic leaves and cream-coloured to yellow flowers.
Pomaderris andromedifolia is a shrub that typically grows to a height of 1–2 m (3 ft 3 in – 6 ft 7 in) and has its young stems covered with woolly, rust-coloured hairs. The leaves are mostly lance-shaped to elliptic, 10–50 mm (0.39–1.97 in) long and 3–15 mm (0.12–0.59 in) wide, the upper surface glabrous and the lower surface with white to rust-coloured hairs. The flowers are borne in panicles on the end of branches and are cream-coloured to pale yellow, each flower on a pedicel 1.5–4 mm (0.059–0.157 in) long. The sepals are 2.0–2.5 mm (0.079–0.098 in) long but fall off as the flowers mature, the petals spatula-shaped and 1.5–2.5 mm (0.059–0.098 in) long. Flowering occurs from September to November.[2][3][4]
