-->{{Treatment/Body |distribution=North America |discussion=<p>Species 2 (2 in the flora).</p><!-- --><p>Porteranthus Britton, a superfluous and illegitimate name, was proposed by N. L. Britton in 1894 as a substitute for Gillenia because the similar name Gillena had been used by Adanson in 1763. Both names refer to Arnold Gillen. A proposal to conserve Gillenia (D. R. Hunt 1982) was opposed by K. R. Robertson (1983); a vote (E. G. Voss 1986) indicated that the two names are not confusable.</p> |tables= |references= }}<!-- --><div class="treatment-key"> ==Key== <div class="treatment-key-group"> {| class="wikitable fna-keytable" |-id=key-0-1 |1 |Stipules depressed-ovate, persistent, 10–20(–25) × 10–20 mm; leaflets: abaxial surfaces densely glandular; follicles glabrous or glabrate. |[[Gillenia stipulata|Gillenia stipulata]] |-id=key-0-1 |1 |Stipules linear, deciduous, 3–8 × 1–3 mm; leaflets: abaxial surfaces eglandular or sparsely glandular; follicles strigose to villous-strigose. |[[Gillenia trifoliata|Gillenia trifoliata]] |} </div></div><!-- -->{{#Taxon: name=Gillenia |author=Guy L.
