Pomaderris (Greek, lid and skin, said to allude to the membranous covering of the capsule). Rham- naceae. Shrubs, more or less covered with hoary or ferruginous stellate tomentum. The Victorian hazel, P. apetala, is included here. Leaves alternate: fls. numerous, in small cymes usually forming terminal or axillary- corymbs or panicles; calyx-tube adnate to the ovary, limb 5-parted, deciduous or reflexed; petals 5 or wanting; stamens 5, the filaments elongated and often suddenly attenuate and inflexed at the top; ovary more or less inferior: caps, small, the upper portion protruding above the calyx-tube, 3-valved.—About 22 species confined to Austral., New Caledonia and New Zeal. Several species have been cult, in England at different times but P. apetala seems to be the one most commonly cult. Prop, by cuttings of half-ripened shoots.
