Gardenia ovularis is a small tree in the family Rubiaceae. It is endemic to a very restricted part of north east Queensland, namely the coastal rainforests from the Bloomfield River southwards to Etty Bay, and with a further isolated occurrence at Mount Elliot, south of Townsville[4][5] It was first described by Frederick Manson Bailey in 1893.[3]
