Rogiera
Rogiera is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae. It has 15 species. Rogiera amoena, Rogiera cordata, and Rogiera gratissima are cultivated as ornamentals. The type species for the genus is Rogiera amoena.
Rogiera was named by Jules Émile Planchon in 1849. The name honors the Belgian politician Charles Latour Rogier (1800–1885).
Some authors have included Rogiera in a broadly defined Rondeletia, but molecular phylogenetic studies have shown that Rogiera is closer to Guettarda than to Rondeletia.
