Gillenia Moench. Subfamily: Amygdaloideae. Tribe: Gillenieae. Indian-physic, Bowman's-root.
A genus of 2 species, herbs, of e. North America. The contention that Gillenia is a later homonym of Gillena and must therefore be rejected for the later name Porteranthus has been ruled against (Robertson 1974; Brummitt 1988; Parkinson 1988).
