Pomaderris kumeraho.

Erect bushy shrub with dark green glabrous leaves with white tomentum underneath. The clusters of sunshine yellow flowers have buds appearing long before the flowers open in spring. Excellent for planting on clay banks. Will grow in sun or semi shade, the soil must be well drained. Hardy, though avoid very cold and frosty areas. The leaves and flowers contain saponin, so if rubbed in water they provide a lather that is good for washing.
