This species was first described as Gardenia ochreata in 1858 by the botanist Ferdinand von Mueller, based on material collected from the Burdekin River. [9] In 1989 the Australian botanist Christopher Francis Puttock transferred it to the genus Kailarsenia, however shortly thereafter the Sri Lankan botanist and Rubiaceae specialist erected a new genus, Larsenaikia, to accommodate this plant.

Gardenia volkensii is a multi-stemmed shrub or small tree with short, rigid branches. [1] [2] The branches form a dense rounded canopy and may touch the ground. The bark is a pale grey colour. [1] Shiny spoon-shaped leaves are found clustered at the end of knobbly branchlets. [2] The trumpet-shaped flowers start off white, but turn yellow with age.
Alexander Garden FRSE FRS (January 1730 – 15 April 1791) was a Scottish physician, botanist and zoologist. The gardenia flower is named after him. He lived for many years in Charleston, South Carolina, using his spare time to study plants and living creatures, and sending specimens to Carl Linnaeus.
