Hakea florulenta, commonly known as three-nerved willow hakea,[2] is a woody shrub in the family Proteaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia.

Hakea florulenta is an erect shrub or small tree that typically grows to a height of 1.5–2 m (4 ft 11 in – 6 ft 7 in), sometimes has silky-hairy young shoot, and forms a lignotuber. The leaves are narrowly elliptic to lance-shaped, sometimes with the narrower end towards the base, 50–150 mm (2.0–5.9 in) long, and 10–35 mm (0.39–1.38 in) wide on a petiole 2–5 mm (0.079–0.197 in) long. The flowers are arranged in umbels in up to four leaf axils per branch, each umbel with 14 to 20 flowers on peduncles 3–4 mm (0.12–0.16 in) long, each flower on a pedicel 4.0–7.5 mm (0.16–0.30 in) long. The flowers are white, glabrous and 5–8 mm (0.20–0.31 in) long, the pistil 7–10 mm (0.28–0.39 in) long. Flowering occurs from September to December, and the fruit is obliquely elliptic 20–25 mm (0.79–0.98 in) long and 6–12 mm (0.24–0.47 in) wide, the surface with blackish blister-like protuberances.[3][4]
