Brunfelsia pauciflora is a species of flowering plant in the nightshade family, endemic to Brazil and commonly grown in gardens. It has several common names, including today, tomorrow together, morning-noon-and-night, kiss me quick, and Brazil raintree. This plant has been bred for ornamental use, with cultivars such as 'Eximia', 'Floribunda', and 'Macrantha' receiving the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. The genus name, Brunfelsia, honors a German monk from the 16th century, while the specific epithet, pauciflora, means 'few-flowered' in Latin. This shrub can grow up to 2.4 meters tall and has dark green, leathery leaves. Its flowers, which are borne in cymes of up to 10, change color from purple to lavender to white as they bloom. The plant is toxic, especially its fruit, and contains substances that can cause health problems if consumed. It is mainly found in pluvial rainforests in southeastern Brazil, at altitudes up to 1500 meters.
