Etymology

The word Pomaderris names a group of shrubs and comes from Greek parts poma 'lid' and derris 'skin', probably because the plants have small fruits or buds that look 'capped' or leaves that are 'covered' with fine hairs. So the name helps you remember these shrubs by their 'capped' fruits or hairy leaves.
