[[4][5] {{As of|2013|Nov}}, botanists classify Eucryphia as constituting part of the plant family Cunoniaceae.[6]]Naturally, they grow {{Convert|1|to|6|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} tall and occur only within an altitude range of about {{Convert|1200|to|1500|m|ft|-3|abbr=on}}.[4][5]
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 {{as of|2013|Sept|27|lc=y}}, of the Queensland government legislation, the Nature Conservation Act 1992.[11]References
