Pomaderris intermedia, commonly known as lemon dogwood,
Description
Pomaderris intermedia is a shrub that typically grows to a height of up to about 3 m (9.8 ft), its branchlets covered with both simple and star-shaped hairs. The leaves are broadly elliptic to narrowly egg-shaped, 30–100 mm (1.2–3.9 in) long and 10–50 mm (0.39–1.97 in) wide with
Taxonomy
Pomaderris intermedia was first formally described in 1825 by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle in Prodromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Vegetabilis from an unpublished description by Franz Sieber.[6][7] The specific epithet (intermedia) refers to a close association with two other Pomaderris species.[8]
Distribution and habitat
Lemon dogwood grows in forest, woodland and heath, and is found from south from the Gibraltar Range National Park in New South Wales to Western Port and French Island in Victoria, and in scattered locations in Tasmania, including on some Bass Strait islands.[2][3][4][5]
Conservation status
This pomaderris is listed as "rare" under the Tasmanian Government Threatened Species Protection Act 1995.
