−'''Hakea''' ('''''Hakea''''') is a genus of 149 species of [[shrub]]s and small [[tree]]s in the '''[[Proteaceae]]''', native to [[Australia]]. They are found throughout the country, with the highest species diversity being found in the south west of [[Western Australia]]. They can reach 1-6 [[metre|m]] in height, and have spirally arranged [[leaf|leaves]] 2-20 cm long, simple or compound, sometimes (e.g. ''H. suaveolens'') with the leaflets thin cylindrical and [[Juncaceae|rush]]-like. The [[flower]]s are produced in dense flowerheads of variable shape, globose to cylindrical, 3-10 cm long, with numerous small red, yellow, pink, purple, pale blue or white flowers.+Hakeas are named after Baron [[Christian Ludwig von Hake]], the [[18th century]] [[Germany|German]] patron of [[botany]], following [[Heinrich Schrader]]'s description of ''[[Hakea teretifolia]]'' in [[1797]].+ +It is now widely accepted that ''[[Grevillea]]'' is [[paraphyly|paraphyletic]] with respect to ''Hakea''. It is likely, therefore, that ''Hakea'' will soon be transferred into ''Grevillea''.
−
−===Classification===
−Hakeas are closely related to the genus ''[[Grevillea]]'' and ''[[Finschia]]'', both members of the subfamily '''[[Grevilleoideae]]''' within the family '''Proteaceae'''. Many species have similar [[inflorescences]], but hakeas can be distinguished by their woody seed pods.
−
−===Horticulture===
−Hakeas are popular [[ornamental plant]]s in [[garden]]s in Australia, though not nearly as commonly seen as grevilleas and banksias. Several [[hybrid]]s and [[cultivar]]s have been developed. They are best grown in beds of light soil which is watered but still well drained.
−
−Some showy western species, such as ''[[Hakea multilineata]]'', ''[[Hakea francisiana|H. francisiana]]'' and ''[[Hakea bucculenta|H. bucculenta]]'', require [[grafting]] onto hardy stock such as ''[[Hakea salicifolia]]'' for growing in more humid climates, as they are sensitive to [[Phytophthora cinnamomi|dieback]].
−
−Many species, particularly (but not always) Eastern Australian species, are notable for their hardiness, to the point they have become weedy. ''[[Hakea gibbosa]]'', ''[[Hakea sericea|H. sericea]]'' and ''[[Hakea drupacea|H. drupacea]]'' (previously ''H. suaveolens'') have been weeds in [[South Africa]], ''[[Hakea laurina]]'' has become naturalized around [[Adelaide]].
