Hakea is a genus of about 150 species of plants in the Family Proteaceae and are endemic to Australia. They are shrubs or small trees with leaves that are sometimes flat, otherwise circular in cross section in which case they are sometimes divided. The flowers are usually arranged in groups in leaf axils and resemble those of other genera, especially Grevillea.

Hakeas are found in every state of Australia with the highest species diversity being found in the south west of Western Australia.
Homoranthus is a genus of about thirty species of plants in the myrtle family Myrtaceae and all are endemic to Australia.

It grows to 0.3–1 m in height and 1–2 m in width. The leaves are linear-oblong to broadly ovate. The pendent, tubular flowers appear between April and September in the species' native range.

They grow naturally in a variety of different rainforest types from the Illawarra, New South Wales to the Townsville area, Queensland . Of all the global diversity of approximately one hundred Helicia species, this one species naturally grows the furthest south, in the Minnamurra Rainforest and the Robertson area, Illawarra, New South Wales, there observed more on the relatively fertile basalt and alluvial soils.
Adenanthos detmoldii, commonly known as Scott River jugflower or yellow jugflower, is a species of shrub in the family Proteaceae. It is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.
