Description

Dodonaea hackettiana is an erect, dioecious shrub or tree that typically grows to a height of up to 4.5 m (15 ft). Its leaves are simple, sessile, narrowly elliptic, 30–55 mm (1.2–2.2 in) long and 4–9 mm (0.16–0.35 in) wide with a few soft hairs on the midrib and edges. The flowers are borne in panicles on the ends of branches, each flower on a pedicel 1.8–4.5 mm (0.071–0.177 in) long. The three sepals are egg-shaped, 1.6–2.1 mm (0.063–0.083 in) long and fall off as the flower matures. Male flowers usually have six stamens, and female flowers have an ovary with soft hairs. The fruit is an elliptic capsule 9.5–13 mm (0.37–0.51 in) long and 12.5–7 mm (0.49–0.28 in) wide with three membranous wings 3.5–5.5 mm (0.14–0.22 in) wide.
