I then changed to the north-west again, through a scrubby country — mulga, acacia, hakea, salt bush, and numerous others, with a plentiful supply of grass. ❋ Unknown (2007)
We have not seen a drop of water on the surface; the ground evidently absorbs all that falls; the scrub is principally the mulga and hakea bushes and acacia, with a few other small bushes, but very little salt bush. ❋ Unknown (2007)
Kasrils, whose department operates the programme, said the intensity of the fires correlated strongly with the presence of invading aliens such as wattles, gums and hakea from Australia, and pines from Europe and North America. ❋ Unknown (2000)
The projects were formed to control alien vegetation such as wattles, pines and hakea in bushes, dams and rivers. ❋ Unknown (1999)
Here again the stone seems to be the centre of the common life of the _hakea_ flower. ❋ Robert Vane Russell (1894)
In the case of the _hakea_ flower totem they go to a stone lying beneath an old tree, and one of the members lets his blood flow on to the stone until it is covered, while the others sing a song inciting the _hakea_ tree to flower much and to the blossoms to be full of honey. ❋ Robert Vane Russell (1894)
The blood is said to represent a drink prepared from the _hakea_ flowers, but probably it was originally meant to quicken the stone with the blood of a member of the totem, that is its own blood or life, in order that it might produce abundance of flowers. ❋ Robert Vane Russell (1894)
All was one impenetrable desert; ... the vegetation on this part of the country was reduced to a few stunted gums, hakea bushes, and Triodia (spinifex), the whole extremely barren in appearance ... ❋ David Wynford Carnegie (1885)
(Eucalyptus dumosa) mulga, prickly bushes (hakea), some grevillea-trees, and a few oaks (casuarinas). ❋ Ernest Giles (1866)
I then changed to the north-west again, through a scrubby country -- mulga, acacia, hakea, salt bush, and numerous others, with a plentiful supply of grass. ❋ John McDouall Stuart (1840)
The first part of the day's journey the scrub became more open and splendidly grassed, the latter part was fearfully thick, it is composed of mulga, dead and alive, and a few hakea and other bushes, with salt bush and plenty of grass of two or three different sorts. ❋ John McDouall Stuart (1840)
It was surrounded on all sides by sand hills of a fiery red, and not even a stunted hakea was to be seen. ❋ Charles Sturt (1832)
The trees consisted of a new species of casuarina, a new caparis, with some hakea, and several species of very pretty and fragrant flowering shrubs. ❋ Charles Sturt (1832)
On the afternoon of the 28th the party moved on a course of 10 degrees to the south of west, down a leading valley, the country becoming still more barren, the sand ridges quite bare, and only an occasional hakea on the flats. ❋ Charles Sturt (1832)
Of the timber of these regions there was none; a few gum-trees near the creeks, with box-trees on the flats, and a few stunted acacia and hakea on the small hills, constituted almost the whole. ❋ Charles Sturt (1832)
While on the sand hills, the general covering of which was spinifex, there were a few hakea and low shrubs. ❋ Charles Sturt (1832)
At five miles we observed a new melaleuca, similar to the one I had remarked when to the north with Joseph, growing on the skirts of the flats, but the shrubs for the most part consisted of hakea and mimosae with geum and many other minor plants. ❋ Charles Sturt (1832)
Invasive alien vegetation, including various species of wattle, pine, poplar, weeping willow, gum trees, hakea and prickly pear, among others, pose a serious threat to South ❋ Unknown (2010)
Working in the species-rich heathlands around Perth in Western Australia, the University of Plymouth's Mick Hanley and colleagues collected data on flower and foliage characteristics from 50 hakea species.
