Pomaderris elliptica, commonly known as yellow dogwood[2] or smooth pomaderris,[3] is a species of flowering plant in the family Rhamnaceae and is endemic to south-eastern Australia.

It is a shrub with densely hairy branchlets, egg-shaped or elliptic leaves, and pale yellow flowers.

Pomaderris elliptica is a shrub that typically grows to a height of 1–4 m (3 ft 3 in – 13 ft 1 in), its branchlets densely covered with soft, star-shaped hairs.

[4][5] Pomaderris elliptica was first formally described in 1805 by Jacques Labillardière in his Novae Hollandiae Plantarum Specimen.

[8] The names of two varieties are accepted by the Australian Plant Census: This pomaderris grows in open forest and is widespread from south of Taree in New South Wales through south-eastern Victoria to Tasmania.
