Species
This genus contains around fifteen to seventeen species.Neillia Kew Botanical Gardens 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. Note that this publication pre-dates the 2011 International Botanical Congress which mandates that the combined subfamily referred to in the paper as Spiraeoideae must be called Amygdaloideae.
The species of Neillia are: Neillia affinis Neillia breviracemosa Neillia densiflora Neillia fugongensis Neillia gracilis Neillia grandiflora Neillia incisa – lace shrub Neillia jianggangshanensis Neillia ribesioides Neillia rubiflora Neillia serratisepala Neillia sinensis Neillia sparsiflora Neillia tanakae Neillia thibetica Neillia thrysiflora Neillia uekii
