Pomaderris vellea, commonly known as woolly pomaderris,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Rhamnaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is an erect shrub with curly-hairy stems, oblong to circular leaves, and dense panicles of yellow flowers.
Pomaderris vellea is an erect shrub that typically grows to a height of up to 2 m (6 ft 7 in), its stems covered with curly hairs. The leaves are oblong to circular, mostly 30–40 mm (1.2–1.6 in) long and about 20 mm (0.79 in) wide, sometimes with a notched tip. The upper surface of the leaves is densely hairy and velvety, the lower surface covered with woolly, rust-coloured hairs. The flowers are borne in dense panicles at the ends of branches, each flower yellow, the sepals and petals together 3–5 mm (0.12–0.20 in).[2][3][4]
