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 Spiraeoidea
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''
