Hakea suaveolens, R. Br. (H. pectinata, Colla). Rounded shrub, 8-15 ft.: lvs. 2-4 in. long, terete, with rigid spine-like tip, occasionally entire, usually branched into 1-5 rigid terete lobes of unequal lengths: pedicels and perianth glabrous; fls. white, fragrant: fr. ovoid, about 1 in. long by ¾ in. broad, narrowed at apex and with a small conical horn near the end of 1 or both of the valves. —Easily grown, drought-resistant, self- protective, and therefore a favorite for depot grounds, public parks, impenetrable hedges, and the like. Makes a suitable covering for dry hillsides, although not deep-rooted and sometimes inclined to become top-heavy.
