Neillia

Neillia is a genus of the botanical family Rosaceae.

They produce clusters of terminal or axillary flowers, and have dry dehiscent fruits.

[2] This genus is named for Patrick Neill.

[2][4] Recent phylogenetic analysis has shown that the genus Stephanandra is embedded in Neillia, and is perhaps the evolutionary result of hybridization within Neillia lineages.

Because of this, the former members of Stephanandra are included in this classification.
