Rogiera is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae. It has 15 species and its native range is from Mexico to Colombia.[1]

Rogiera amoena, Rogiera cordata, and Rogiera gratissima are sometimes cultivated as ornamentals.[2] The type species for the genus is Rogiera amoena.[3]

Rogiera was named and published by Jules Émile Planchon in Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l'Europe (Fl. Serres Jard. Eur.) Vol.5 on page 442 in 1849.[4] The name honours the Belgian politician Charles Latour Rogier (1800–1885), who was also Minister for the Interior and patron of horticulture.[5]

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.[6]
