Pomaderris pilifera is a species of flowering plant in the family Rhamnaceae and is endemic to south-eastern Australia.
Pomaderris pilifera is a shrub that typically grows to a height of up to 3 m (9.8 ft), its stems densely covered with grey, star-shaped hairs.
[2][3] Pomaderris pilifera was first formally described in 1951 by Norman Arthur Wakefield in The Victorian Naturalist from specimens he collected near the Snowy River Victoria in 1947.
[6] In 2007, Alan Maurice Gray and Mark Wapstra described two subspecies of P. pilifera in the journal Muelleria, and the names are accepted by the Australian Plant Census: This pomaderris grows in forest and woodland, usually near watercourses and occurs from the south coast of New South Wales to north-east Victoria and on the low hills of the Derwent River estuary.
The main threats to the species are forestry operations, inappropriate fire regimes and woody weed invasion.
