Hodgkinsonia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Rubiaceae.

[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.
