Hakea actites, commonly known as the Mulloway needlebush and the Wallum hakea, is a shrub or tree of the genus Hakea native to areas in north eastern New South Wales and south eastern Queensland. The prickly shrub or tree typically grows to a height of 0.3 to 5 metres (1.0 to 16.4 ft). The glabrescent leaves are terete, 3.5 to 13.5 centimetres (1.4 to 5.3 in) long and 0.3 to 1.3 millimetres (0.0 to 0.1 in) in diameter. It produces white flowers from May to September and woody bumpy fruit after. It is very hardy suited to coastal areas and provides good protection for small birds.
