Erodiophyllum is a genus of two species of Australian flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. Plants in the genus Erodiophyllum have pinnatisect, petiolate stem leaves, single, egg-shaped heads of daisy-like "flowers", and a glabrous achene.
==Description== Plants in the genus Erodiophyllum have pinnatisect, petiolate stem leaves and egg-shaped heads of pedunculate pseudanthia arranged singly on the ends of stems. There is a single row of spreading bracts and prominent scales on the peduncle. There is a single row of ray florets and four to seven rows of female, thread-like outer disc florets, the inner disc florets bisexual and tube-shaped. The fruit is a glabrous achene, the pappus composed of minute scales, fused to form a scalloped rim.
