Pomaderris parrisiae
species of plant
Pomaderris parrisiae is a species of flowering plant in the family Rhamnaceae and is endemic to southern New South Wales. It is a shrub to small, slender tree with silvery-hairy branchlets, elliptic to lance-shaped leaves and panicles of hairy, creamy-yellow flowers.
Description
Pomaderris parrisiae is a shrub to slender tree that typically grows to a height of up to 9 m (30 ft), its branchlets and petioles covered with short, silvery hairs. The leaves are elliptic to lance-shaped, mostly 40–80 mm (1.6–3.1 in) long and 10–25 mm (0.39–0.98 in) wide with lance-shaped stipules about 5 mm (0.20 in) long at the base, but that fall off as the leaf develops. The upper surface of the leaves is glabrous and the lower surface is covered with silvery star-shaped hairs. The flowers are borne in pyramid-shaped panicles 30–80 mm (1.2–3.1 in) wide, each flower on a pedicel about 5 mm (0.20 in) long. The sepals are oblong, 2.5–3 mm (0.098–0.118 in) long, creamy-yellow and covered with star-shaped hairs on the back. The petals are egg-shaped with wavy edges, pale yellow and slightly shorter than the sepals. Flowering occurs in October and November and the fruit is a hairy capsule.

Why this record matters
“Pomaderris parrisiae” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Pomaderris, parrisiae and species provides the most credible route into that argument.
Datasets, specimens, observations and peer-reviewed methods provide the appropriate test for the technical claims summarized here. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 29, 2022. The linked authority identifier is Q17252575. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1990 and 1987.
A general summary may omit uncertainty, sample limits or methodological disagreement that is explicit in the technical record. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
