Bouvardia longiflora, commonly known as the scented bouvardia, is a species of flowering plant in the family Rubiaceae. It is first described by Spanish botanist Antonio José Cavanilles in 1801 from a specimen in the collection of Luis Née. The holotype specimen is from a location between Querétaro and Guanajuato.[1]

The most commonly cultivated member of the genus, it is grown for its scent. It grows in sheltered spots in the garden with good drainage.[2] The scent is most prominent in the evenings. They can withstand a winter minimum of 50 F.[3]
