A genus of Australian shrubs and trees known for their attractive foliage and flowers, often grown as ornamental plants.
Named by Linnaeus after Baron Christian Ludwig von Hake, an 18th-century German patron of botany. The plant is native to Australia and was named in his honor.
Hakea species are so tough that they've evolved special seeds that only open after fire—they survive wildfires by waiting for the heat to crack them open!
