This genus is named for Patrick Neill.[3]
Species

This genus contains around fifteen to seventeen species.[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.[1][5]
The species of Neillia are:
- Neillia affinis
- Neillia breviracemosa
- Neillia densiflora
- Neillia fugongensis
