The flowers are borne in short, dense panicles 30–40 mm (1.2–1.6 in) long with ten to thirty cream-coloured flowers densely covered with silvery or pale rusty simple hairs and greyish star-shaped hairs on the back.

Flowering occurs in October and the fruit is dark, greyish brown and about 3.5 mm (0.14 in) long.

[2][3][4] Pomaderris reperta was first formally described in 1997 by Neville Grant Walsh and Fiona Coates in the journal Muelleria from specimens collected by Peter Craig Jobson near Denman in 1995.

[2][3][6] Pomaderris reperta is listed as "critically endangered" under the Australian Government Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 and the New South Wales Government Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016.
