Taxonomy and naming

Hakea carinata was first formally described in 1854 by the botanist Carl Meissner who published the description in the journal Linnaea. The specific epithet (carinata) is a Latin word meaning "keeled", possibly referring to the leaves of this species, being triangular or boat-shaped in cross-section.

Distribution and habitat

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.
