Taxonomy and naming

Hakea cristata was first formally described by the botanist Robert Brown in 1830 and published in Supplementum primum prodromi florae Novae Hollandiae.[7][8] The specific epithet (cristata) is derived from the Latin word cristatus meaning "tufted" or "crested",[9] referring to the crests along each side of the fruit.[2]

Distribution and habitat

The snail hakea is specifically associated with lateritic soils and granite outcrops in the jarrah forests of the Darling Scarp between Chittering and Mundaring.[1] It is usually part of open Eucalyptus wandoo woodland communities.[2]
