About

Hakea carinata is a species in the family Proteaceae native to an area in South Australia. It is a frost hardy small to medium shrub adaptable to a range of free draining situations. Its prickly habit creates a good wildlife habitat.

Where it grows

This hakea has a scattered distribution in southern parts of the Flinders Range and the Mount Lofty Ranges. A couple of isolated populations are also found in the southeast of the state around Padthaway. The species is often part of the understorey of dry sclerophyll forest and is also found among scrub-heath communities growing in sandy to loamy soils.
