Hakea neurophylla, commonly known as the Pink-flowered hakea,[1] is a shrub of the genus Hakea native to a small area near Dandaragan in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia.[2]
The erect non-sprouting shrub typically grows to a height of 0.3 to 2 metres (1 to 7 ft). It blooms from July to August and produces pink-red flowers.
The branchlets are glabrous by flowering, it has obovate to elliptic and sometimes undulate blue-grey leaves that are 5 to 11 centimetres (2 to 4 in) long and 16 to 43 millimetres (0.6 to 1.7 in) wide and narrowly cuneate at the base.
Inflorescences are solitary with 12 to 18 scented flowers with glabrous pedicels. The blackish-brown fruit are obliquely ovate, from 3 to 4 centimetres (1.2 to 1.6 in) long and 1.5 to 1.9 centimetres (0.6 to 0.7 in) wide, obscurely beaked, with a dorsal longitudinal ridge on each valve.[3]
