Bullockia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae. It was originally described as a subgenus of Canthium.^[1] The genus is distributed in eastern and southern Africa from Ethiopia to Transvaal, as well as Madagascar in bushland, woodland, savannas, and dry, deciduous forests.^[2]

Etymology[]

Bullockia is a taxonomic anagram derived from the name of the genus Buckollia. The former name is a taxonomic patronym honoring the English botanist Arthur Allman Bullock.^[3]

Species[]

Additional material has been reported from Madagascar, but at the moment remains undescribed.^[2]
