This species of Hakea was named after the vicinity of Eneabba where it grows.[1] It was first formally described by the botanist Laurence Haegi in 1999 in the work Flora of Australia by Haegi, William Robert Barker, Robyn Barker and Annette Wilson.[4]
It grows in scattered areas in and around Eneabba between Geraldton in the north to Dandaragan in the south on deep sand in heathland. This ornamental species requires a well-drained site in full sun.[1]
