Hakea ambigua No English name Endemic
The naming author of this species was Carl Meissner who,
it is thought, was originally unsure which family this plant belonged
to, so named the species ambigua (= ambiguous). It is said to
have a sweet scent and some do call it Sweet Scented Hakea but as typically
happens with common names, there is another Hakea: Hakea
drupacea which is also know
as Sweet Scented Hakea.
It is found in the Stirling Range area and down to the coast but nowhere
else.
