Hakea adnata is a shrub in the family Proteaceae native to the south coast of Western Australia. It is multi-stemmed shrub that produces masses of white scented flowers from late winter to spring.

Dark green leaves are needle-like straight or with a slight curve 2.5–13 cm (1–5 in) long and 1 to 1.5 millimetres (0.039 to 0.059 in) wide ending with a slight hook at the apex. Each inflorescence has 2-6 sweetly scented white flowers in leaf axils. The pedicel is 2–2.5 mm (0.08–0.1 in) long with flat dense silky white hairs extending onto lower parts of the flower. The perianth is 4.5–5.5 mm (0.2–0.2 in) long and the style 7.5–10 mm (0.3–0.4 in) long. The large fruit are erect or slanted to the stalk, egg-shaped 2.5 to 3.8 cm (1.0 to 1.5 in) long and 2 to 3 cm (0.8 to 1.2 in) wide. Fruit have a smooth to slightly rough surface with a short upturned beak. The seed are 1.6 to 2.3 cm (0.6 to 0.9 in) long. Flowers from July to October. [2] [3] [4]
