 Frederick Eyles (10 May 1864, Wick, Gloucestershire - 28 May 1937, Gatooma, Southern Rhodesia) was an English-born Rhodesian botanist, politician and journalist. The standard author abbreviation Eyles is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.Eyles was probably resident in Natal for some time, since J.C. Juta & Co., published his book, "Zulu Self-Taught" in Cape Town in 1900. Another edition was published in Johannesburg in the same year.
