Pomaderris flabellaris, commonly known as fan pomaderris,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Rhamnaceae and is endemic to South Australia. It is a low shrub with fan-shaped leaves, and small clusters of woolly-hairy flowers.
Pomaderris flabellaris is a shrub that typically grows to a height of about 1 m (3 ft 3 in). The leaves are fan-shaped, 4–8 mm (0.16–0.31 in) long and 5–13 mm (0.20–0.51 in) wide, usually with wavy or toothed edges, on a petiole 2–5 mm (0.079–0.197 in) long. Both surfaces are covered with star-shaped hairs, densely so on the lower surface. The flowers are arranged in small groups up to 20 mm (0.79 in) long in leaf axils and on the ends of branchlets, each flower on a hairy pedicel about 1 mm (0.039 in) long. The sepals are densely covered with rust-coloured, star-shaped hairs and are 2.0–2.5 mm (0.079–0.098 in) long but there are no petals. Flowering occurs from August to October.[2][3]
