Description
Pomaderris lanigera is a shrub that typically grows to a height of {{cvt|0.5–3|m}}, its branchlets covered with shaggy, rust-coloured and star-shaped hairs. The leaves are lance-shaped to egg-shaped or elliptic, {{cvt|40–130|mm}} long and {{cvt|20–50|mm}} wide with stipules {{cvt|4–6|mm}} long at the base but that fall off as the leaf develops. The upper surface of the leaves has a few erect hairs and the lower surface is covered with shaggy, rust-coloured, star-shaped hairs. The flowers are yellow with shaggy rust-coloured hairs on the back and are arranged in more or less hemispherical panicles {{cvt|40–120|mm}} in diameter. Each flower is on a pedicel {{cvt|2.5–5.5|mm}} long with bracts at the base but that fall off as the flower opens. The floral cup is {{cvt|1.0–1.5|mm}} long, the sepals {{cvt|2–3|mm}} long but fall off as the flowers open, and the petals are spatula-shaped and {{cvt|1.5–2.5|mm}} long. Flowering occurs from August to October.{{cite web |last1=Walsh |first1=Neville G. |title=Pomaderris lanigera |url=https://vicflora.rbg.vic.gov.au/flora/taxon/1600ea9c-3c77-45ba-84fc-4d537679b3b9 |publisher=Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria |access-date=2 March 2022}}{{cite web |last1=Wood |first1=Betty |title=Pomaderris lanigera |url=https://apps.lucidcentral.org/plants_se_nsw/text/entities/pomaderris_lanigera.htm |publisher=Lucid Keys |access-date=6 March 2022}}{{cite book |last1=Robinson |first1=Les |title=Field guide to the native plants of Sydney |date=1991 |publisher=Kangaroo Press |location=Kenthurst, NSW |isbn=0864171927 |page=204}}
