Hakea arborescens
Also called Arrarruwurra, Common Hakea
Hakea arborescens, commonly known as the common hakea or the yellow hakea, is a shrub or tree of the genus Hakea native to parts of northern Australia.
Hakea arborescens is endemic to the top end in the Northern Territory, the Kimberley region of Western Australia and northern Queensland. It is often found among coastal dunes, inland on soils that are alkaline, along creek banks or in low-lying areas such as swamps. Hakea arborescens is often found growing over and around areas of sandstone, quartzite and limestone and usually part of monsoon forest or Eucalyptus woodland communities.
