Pomaderris nitidula, commonly known as shining pomaderris,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Rhamnaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is a shrub with silky-hairy young stems, elliptic to narrowly elliptic leaves, and cream-coloured flowers.
Pomaderris nitidula is a shrub that typically grows to a height of up to 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in), its new growth and young stems covered with copper-coloured, silky hairs. The leaves are elliptic to narrowly elliptic, 30–70 mm (1.2–2.8 in) long and 10–25 mm (0.39–0.98 in) wide, the upper surface of the leaves glabrous and the lower surface covered with silky, silvery hairs. The flowers are cream-coloured and arranged in small groups in panicles.[2]
