Taxonomy and naming
Hakea cucullata was first described by Robert Brown in 1830 from a specimen collected by William Baxter in 1824 and the description was published in Supplementum primum Prodromi florae Novae Hollandiae.[7][8] The specific epithet (cucullata) is derived from the Latin word cucullatus meaning "hooded".[9]
Distribution and habitat
Hood-leaved hakea is found in the Stirling Range, south-western Western Australia, east to the Whoogarup Range[2] in the Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest and Warren biogeographic regions where it grows in sandy mallee heath and occasionally in gravelly lateritic soils.[3][4][10]
Conservation
Hakea cucullata is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.[4]
Use in horticulture
Scallop hakea is reasonably hardy as a garden plant[11] and has been grown successfully on Kangaroo Island.[12] It is easily propagated from seed[11] and has been successfully grafted onto Hakea salicifolia root stock.[13]
