Eucryphia wilkiei

Eucryphia wilkiei is a species of rainforest shrub endemic to restricted areas of cloud forests on mountain tops in the Wet Tropics region of northeastern Queensland, Australia. , botanists classify Eucryphia in the family Cunoniaceae.

Naturally, they grow 1 to 6 m tall and occur only within an altitude range of about 1200 to 1500 m.

In Jan. 1970 Jack (John H.) Wilkie (1902–1997), orchid expert and botanical explorer of the Mount Bellenden Ker region, was the first European–Australian person to scientifically discover them. Bernie Hyland formally scientifically described the species name in 1997.

Eucryphia wilkiei’s, endemic, very restricted distribution has obtained the conservation status of "vulnerable", officially listed in the regulation current, of the Queensland government legislation, the Nature Conservation Act 1992.
