Hakea minyma (watjula or nyintirpa) is a species of shrub that is native to Australia.[2] It has a rounded habit, usually growing to between 1.2 and 3 metres with long, narrow leaves.[1] Cream or pink flowers are produced in axillary racemose inflorescences between August and November in its native range.
The species was first formally described by botanist J.R. Maconchie in 1973.[1] The specific epithet minmya, from an aboriginal word for a woman's breast, alludes to the shape of the fruits.[2]
It occurs in Western Australia, the Northern Territory and South Australia.[1]
