Ulex europaeus
"Hakea ulicina" was first formally described by Robert Brown in "Supplementum primum prodromi florae Novae Hollandiae" in 1830, based on plant material collected by William Baxter in Wilsons Promontory. Named from the Latin "ulex" for the genus of plants which includes furze ("Ulex europaeus"), and believed to be a resemblance to the habit or the leaves of this species.
