Hakea auriculata var. spathulata Benth.

The open shrub typically grows to a height of 1 to 0.5 metres (3 to 2 ft). It blooms from August to September and produces red flowers.

An earlier description in 2006 by Young confined Hakea spathulata (nom. illeg.[2]) to a limited area: between Murchison River and Dandaragan, and protected.[4][5]

In 2014, renamed as H. neospathulata by I.M. Turner[6] with a broader range, and not endangered taxon.

Found in IBRA Regions: Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest, Swan Coastal Plain.

Taxonomy

This species was first described as Hakea auriculata var spathulata by George Bentham in 1870,[7][8] and raised to species level in 1990 as H. spathulata by Barker.[5] However, the name was illegitimate as H. spathulata had already been validly published by Johannes Theodor Schmalhausen in 1883 as the name of a fossil hakea species found in Russia.[6][9] Thus, in 2014 Turner renamed the species H. neospathulata.[6]
