Bouvardia is a genus of flowering plants in the Rubiaceae family. It contains about 50 species of evergreen herbs and shrubs native to Mexico and Central America, with one species extending into the southwestern United States. They grow to 0.6–1.5 m tall. The leaves are opposite or in whorls of 3–5, ovate to lanceolate, 3–11 cm long. The flowers are in terminal, generally many-flowered clusters; the corolla has a large tube and four spreading lobes; flower colour ranges varies between species, with white, yellow, pink, and red all found. Among them a few species of Bouvardia have a floral scent and flavor. This study was determining for change of fragrance pattern according to flowering stage using electronic nose from the flower of Bouvardia longiflora. And, the use of headspace-solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) coupled to gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC/MS) allowed the identification of twenty-one volatile compounds emitted by B. longiflora. The major floral scent were linalool, isobutyl benzoate, α-farnesene, and (3E,7E)-4,8,12-Trimethyl-1,3,7,11-tridecatetraene.
