Description

Hakea recurva is a tall shrub or small tree typically growing to a height of 1 to 6 metres (3 to 20 ft) and does not form a lignotuber. It is multi-stemmed with branchlets densely covered in fine, flattened, silky hairs and quickly becoming smooth. The fragrant inflorescence may have 20-40 large cream-yellow flowers in clusters in the leaf axils. The leaves may be straight or recurved ending with a sharp point. Flowering occurs from June to October and the fruit have a smooth surface, obliquely egg-shaped 1.7–2.3 cm (0.7–0.9 in) long and ending in broad short beak. [3]

Hakea recurva was first formally described in 1856 by Carl Meisner and the description was published in Prodromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Vegetabilis . [4] [5] The specific epithet (recurva) means "curved", referring to the leaves. [6]

Distribution and habitat

Hakea recurva grows in open scrub or mulga on granitic loam, sand, sandy-clay, gravel and laterite. Occurs in area bounded by the Murchison River, Laverton and Israelite Bay.
