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 understorey 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]
