Hakea pendens is a flowering plant in the family Proteaceae and endemic to a small area in the Goldfields-Esperance regions of Western Australia. It is a small shrub with needle-like leaves and pendulous pink flowers. [2]
Hakea pendens typically grows to 2 to 3 metres (7 to 10 ft) high and 2.5 to 3.1 metres (8 to 10 ft) wide. The branchlets are densely covered in silky, flattened hairs until flowering and then the surface becoming whitish and waxy. The terete, dark green leaves are 2–4 cm (0.8–2 in) long and about 2 mm (0.08 in) wide, crowded, stiff, and densely covered with silky, rusty coloured, flattened hairs, ending with a sharp point 2.5 mm (0.098 in) long. The inflorescence is a cluster of 6-8 pale pink pendulous flowers borne in leaf axils. Flowering occurs from August to September and the fruit is obovate, smooth, grey, sometimes with darker grey speckling and about 3 cm (1 in) long and 1.5–2 cm (0.6–0.8 in) wide. [3] [4] [5]
Hakea pendens was first formally described in 1990 by Robyn Mary Barker and the description was published in the Journal of the Adelaide Botanic Garden from a specimen collected near Marvel Loch. [5] [6] The specific epithet (pendens) means "hanging down", referring to the flower. [7]
Hakea pendens is classified as "Priority Three" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife [2] meaning that it is poorly known and known from only a few locations but is not under imminent threat. [8]
Hakea scoparia is a species of flowering plant in the family Proteaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia where it grows in shrubland. It is a shrub with ascending branches, terete leaves and clusters of cream to pinkish flowers in leaf axils from June to September.
Hakea cygna, commonly known as the swan hakea, is usually a dense shrub endemic to Western Australia with creamy-white upright flowers appearing from July to August.
Hakea decurrens, commonly known as bushy needlewood, is a species of shrub or small tree in the family Proteaceae.
Hakea trifurcata, commonly known as two-leaf, two-leaved hakea, or kerosene bush, is a shrub, endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. The species has two leaf forms, needle-like or oblong egg-shaped. Unlike most hakea species the fruit remain green at maturity and resemble the broader leaf form. The mimicry creates a camouflage, reducing predation of the seed by granivores in particular cockatoos.
Hakea rugosa, commonly known as wrinkled hakea or dwarf hakea, is a shrub of the family Proteaceae native to Australia. It has sharp needle-shaped leaves and white or cream fragrant flowers in profusion from August to October.

Hakea candolleana is a shrub in the family Proteaceae native to areas along the west coast in the Wheatbelt and Mid West regions of Western Australia. A cream-white winter flowering species, useful as a garden ground cover.
Hakea circumalata is a shrub in the family Proteaceae native to an area in the Wheatbelt and Mid West regions of Western Australia. A small shrub producing a profusion of strongly scented pink to red flowers in dense clusters from July to September.
Hakea aenigma, commonly known as the enigma hakea, is a shrub in the family Proteaceae native to South Australia. Only one of two Hakea species totally reliant on suckering to reproduce therefore have "reached evolutionary dead-ends".
Hakea erecta is a shrub in the family Proteaceae and is endemic to Western Australia. It is a dense rounded shrub with linear twisted leaves and up to 24 pink or white fragrant flowers appearing in leaf axils in spring.
Hakea tuberculata is a flowering plant in the family Proteaceae and is endemic to several isolated areas along the coast in the Peel, South West, Great Southern and Goldfields-Esperance regions of Western Australia. It is an upright shrub with white flowers and rigid, prickly leaves.
Hakea newbeyana is a shrub in the family Proteaceae and is endemic to an area in the southern Wheatbelt and Goldfields-Esperance regions of Western Australia. It is a prickly shrub with smooth grey bark and sweetly scented cream-yellow flowers in profusion in spring.

Hakea rigida is a flowering plant in the family Proteaceae with a restricted distribution and endemic to the western Goldfields region of Western Australia. It is a dense shrub with grey bark and sprays of pink flowers in spring.
Hakea fraseri, is a species of shrub or small tree commonly known as the corkwood oak, is a shrub in the family Proteaceae and is endemic to northern New South Wales. It has furrowed bark, pendulous foliage and creamy-white flowers in spring.
