Common name: Furze hakea.
Description:
Leaves simple or compound, terete (in S.Aust.), with no veins apparent.
Inflorescences axillary, rarely terminal, with tiny basal bracts not forming an involucral cone when developing, 1-few long simple racemes of many to numerous flowers; flowers including pedicel externally pubescent, rarely glabrous; torus oblique; perianth in mature bud slightly bent or reflexed at the apex; anthers, broad-ovate, cells divergent, sometimes displaced. gland horseshoe-shaped; pistil vertically inserted, style at length straight; pollen-presenter an erect or oblique blunt cone with an oblique narrow basal flange or disc.
Fruit more or less straight, with 2 obscure rarely prominent apical horns; seed with the ridge short and lateral or absent, wing made up of a network of lines, a few dark mainly hyalescent.

Biology:
A natural group, covering arid and eastern semiarid Australia, needing taxonomic revision. A number of species in both the compound-leaved and predominantly simple-leaved groups seem too poorly distinguishable for maintenance at this level. (Species 8-11)
Taxonomic notes:
Closely allied to and formerly placed under Hakea ulicina R. Br., which under its new circumscription has fewer flowers in the inflorescence and is a fire-killed non-suckering tree confined to south- eastern N.S.W., eastern Vic. and the Bass Strait islands,
