Pomaderris forrestiana is a species of flowering plant in the family Rhamnaceae and is endemic to south-western Australia. It is a low shrub with elliptic leaves, and small clusters of woolly-hairy flowers.
Pomaderris forrestiana is a shrub that typically grows to a height of about 30–75 cm (12–30 in). The leaves are elliptic, 4–8 mm (0.16–0.31 in) long and 4–7 mm (0.16–0.28 in) wide, on a petiole 1–2 mm (0.039–0.079 in) long. The upper surface is velvety-hairy and the lower surface is covered with grey, woolly, star-shaped hairs. The flowers are arranged in small groups in leaf axils and on the ends of branchlets, each flower on a hairy pedicel about 1 mm (0.039 in) long. The sepals are about 2 mm (0.079 in) long with grey, woolly, star-shaped hairs on the back and the petals are spatula-shaped and slightly shorter than the sepals. Flowering has been observed in July and September. [2]
Pomaderris forrestiana was first formally described in 1875 by Ferdinand von Mueller in his Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae from specimens collected by John Forrest. [3] [4] The specific epithet (forrestiana) honours the collector of the type specimens. [5]
Pomaderris forrestiana grows in rocky and sandy soils on stony hills and coastal limestone south from Kalgoorlie in Western Australia and along the coast of south-western Australia to as far east as near the border between Western Australia and South Australia. [2] [6]
This pomaderris is listed as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions. [6]
