Pomaderris prunifolia, commonly known as plum leaf pomaderris, [2] is a plant in the family Rhamnaceae. It has slightly toothed, wrinkled green leaves, stems with rusty coloured star-shaped hairs and yellow flowers.
Pomaderris prunifolia is a shrub to 4 m (13 ft) high with rusty coloured star-shaped hairs on the stems. The leaves are egg-shaped to oblong to more or less elliptic, 2–4 cm (0.79–1.57 in) long, 8–15 mm (0.31–0.59 in) wide, upper surface wrinkled, rough, with simple hairs or rarely smooth, margins more or less toothed, underside with more or less rusty coloured star-shaped hairs and ending with a broadly acute apex. The yellow flowers are borne in a panicle formation on a short pedicel. The seed capsule has long, rusty hairs and the hypanthium long whitish hairs. [2] [3]
Pomaderris prunifolia was first formally described in 1837 by Eduard Fenzl and the description was published in Enumeratio plantarum quas in Novae Hollandiae ora austro-occidentali ad fluvium Cygnorum et in sinu Regis Georgii collegit Carolus Liber Baro de Hügel . [4] [5]
Plum-leaf pomaderris is an uncommon species, it grows south of the Hunter Valley, west of the Nandewar Range and Chandler River gorge in rocky situations, mostly near creeks. [2]
Hardenbergia is a genus of three species of flowering plants in the pea family, Fabaceae and is endemic to Australia.

Enumeratio plantarum quas in Novae Hollandiæ ora austro-occidentali ad fluvium Cygnorum et in sinu Regis Georgii collegit Carolus Liber Baro de Hügel is a description of the plants collected at the Swan River colony and King George Sound in Western Australia. The author, Stephan Endlicher, used a collection arranged by Charles von Hügel to compile the first flora for the new settlements. Hugel visited the region during 1833–1834, several years after the founding of the colony. The work provided formal descriptions, in Latin, of new species and genera of plants. The single instalment was produced in Europe by Endlicher in 1837, the work also included contributions by Eduard Fenzl, George Bentham, Heinrich Wilhelm Schott.
