Euodia hylandii, the dwarf euodia, is a shrub or small tree in the citrus family Rutaceae. It is found in tropical north eastern Australia. The habitat is in the lower storey of well developed tropical rainforest areas, from the coast to 550 metres above sea level. Crushed leaves are said to resemble the scent of ants in the Iridomyrmex group. The plant is named in honour of the botanist Bernard Hyland. [1] [2]

Australian Tropical Rainforest Plants, also known as RFK, is an identification key giving details—including images, taxonomy, descriptions, range, habitat, and other information—of almost all species of flowering plants found in tropical rainforests of Australia, with the exception of most orchids which are treated in a separate key called Australian Tropical Rainforest Orchids. A key for ferns is under development. RFK is a project initiated by the Australian botanist Bernie Hyland.
