Coast Pomaderris Pomaderris paniculosa ssp. paralia is a compact shrub growing 1-2 metres high and the same wide. Branchlets are softly hairy, giving a pale or rusty appearance. It is the coastal subspecies of Pomaderris paniculosa, distinguished by the large leaves, 1.5 to 5 cm long and 1-2.5 cm wide, with a smooth, shiny upper surface and a paler, densely hairy lower surface, the hairs usually extending around the margin of the leaf. Cream or greenish flowers without petals occur in drooping panicles from the leaf axils and terminally, in October and November. Locally common along the exposed coast of the southern states; at Venus Bay it occurs in Coastal Dune Scrub and Coast Banksia Woodland.
