Hakea clavata (coastal hakea) is an interesting WA species with distinctive thick, fleshy leaves + pink scented flowers in winter. The one grafted plant I have in the garden (Corunna, NSW) is now almost 18 yrs old and still looking great with just a light prune each year. It's currently attracting a lot of winter insects - including the common jezabel (Delias nigrina) - plus adding a very pleasant fragrance to the garden near the house.

Unfortunately not a Hakea often seen in nurseries - I've only ever grafted a single plant (onto H. salicifolia) ... although I have had a 100% success rate so far ... ;)
