Hakea stenophylla

Hakea stenophylla is a shrub or tree of the genus Hakea native to Western Australia.

The spreading shrub or tree typically grows to a height of 5 metres (16 ft). It blooms from May to August and produces cream-white flowers.[1]

The species was first formally described by Robert Brown in 1830 as part of the work Proteaceas Novas. Supplementum primum prodromi florae Novae Hollandiae.[2]

There are two recognized subspecies:

  • Hakea stenophylla subsp. notialis R.M.Barker[3]
  • Hakea stenophylla R.Br. subsp. stenophylla[4]

H. stenophylla is native to an area in the Mid West and the Gascoyne regions of Western Australia where it is found on sandplains and among coastal sand dunes where it grows in sandy and loamy soils often around limestone.[1]
