Wildlife Online Extract for Eungella National Park.</ref> Much of the rainforest in the National Park is complex mesophyll vine forest with pockets of simple and complex notophyll vine forests on poorer soils.<ref name=winter /> Many of the vegetation communities including rainforests, vine thickets and vine forests are considered fire sensitive.<ref>Reef Catchments. 2014.

===Dicots===
''[[Elaeocarpus largiflorens]]'' is a rainforest tree reaching 30&nbsp;m in height which occurs in the wet tropics from sea level to 1200 m elevation and is at the southern limit of its natural range at Eungella.<ref name="Rossetto">Rossetto, M., D.

===Ferns===
In the southern half of Queensland, the giant fern (''[[Angiopteris evecta]]'') is found in only four widely spaced sites, including Eungella, which may indicate a past wider distribution when Queensland was much wetter.<ref name="low 11" /> This species needs a highly-reliable water supply and high humidity to sustain its enormous fronds.<ref name="low 11" /> The vulnerable ''[[Dryopteris]] sparsa'' is also found in the park.<ref name="q gov 2015" />
