Acacia hakeoides, known colloquially as hakea wattle, hakea-leaved wattle, or western black wattle is a species of Acacia native to southern Australia .[1][2] It can be found growing in sandy soils in semiarid and Eucalyptus woodland in the region.[3]
It typically grows to a height of 1.5 to 3.0 metres (5 to 10 ft) and produces yellow flowers from August to October.[3]
The seed of acacia hakeoides is edible and it has been suggested that this seed is suitable for culinary use as a flavouring agent, as a stable carbohydrate or as a coffee substitute, among others.[4] In light of this fact, the species has been listed by one study as a medium priority species of interest for domestication for seed production purposes.[4]
