Pomaderris apetala is a small tree or large shrub from the family Rhamnaceae, growing in Victoria, New Zealand and Tasmania.

In New Zealand, P. apetala is commonly known as the New Zealand Hazel. Māori names include tainui, nonokia, and nonorangi. The name ‘Tainui’, is traditionally derived from the P. apetala plants that sprang from the skids of the ‘Tainui’ canoe used by Māori who first colonised New Zealand.
