Pomaderris
(dogwood) species can be distinguished from the similar
genus, Spyridium, by
the petals, which are either absent (leaving only the
petal-like sepals), or are shorter than the staminal
filaments. The 10 species are all native shrubs or small
trees. Pomaderris apetala is often one of the
dominant trees in wet sclerophyll forest.
