Hodgkinsonia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Rubiaceae.[1] It only contains one species, Hodgkinsonia ovatiflora F.Muell. [2]
Its native range is eastern Australia, in the territories of New South Wales and Queensland.[2]
The genus name of Hodgkinsonia is in honour of Clement Hodgkinson (1818–1893), an English naturalist, explorer and surveyor of Australia.[3] The Latin specific epithet of ovatiflora is derived from ovatus L meaning egg-shaped and flora meaning flower. Both genus and species were first described and published in Fragm. (Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae) Vol.2 on page 132 in 1861.[2]
