Hakea epiglottis is a species of shrub in the family Proteaceae, endemic to Tasmania. It grows to 3 metres tall, with leaves which are 1.5 to 7.5 cm long and 1 to 2 mm wide.[2] The young leaves are covered in rust-coloured hairs, which distinguishes this species from the similar Hakea megadenia.[3]
There are two recognised subspecies:
- Hakea epiglottis subsp. epiglottis
- Hakea epiglottis subsp. milliganii
The species was first formally described by Jacques Labillardière in Novae Hollandiae Plantarum Specimen in 1805.[1]
