Ellipsoidal to ovoid shaped fruit 1–2 cm (0.4–0.8 in) long by 0.5–1.5 cm (0.2–0.6 in) wide tapering to a small beak.[3][4][5]

The species was first formally described in 1856 by Swiss botanist Carl Meissner and the description was published in Prodromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Vegetabilis.[6][7] The type specimen was collected near Pyramid Hill during Thomas Livingston Mitchell's 1836 expedition.[5][8] Hakea mitchellii was named after Mitchell to honour the collector of the species.[4]
