| Pomaderris
apetala (common dogwood) is widespread and abundant
tree or large shrub species. It is one of the main
components in the canopy of wet sclerophyll forests. It has
large leaves, which have irregular margins and irregularly
lumpy surface.
It is only easily confused with P.
aspera, which has leaves which are not densely
covered in hairs on the lower surface. It is also
sometimes confused with Asterotrichion
discolor, which has very different flowers
(with conspicuous petals), and leaves that have palmate
venation at their base.
