			'''''Neviusia''''' is a genus of [[ornamental plant]]s, which are native to the [[United States]], containing two [[Extant taxon\|extant]] species and one [[extinct]] species known from leaf fossils. This genus is a rare example of a [[disjunct]] range occurring in North America. The type species, ''[[Neviusia alabamensis]]'', occurs in several southeastern states, while second extant species, ''[[Neviusia cliftonii]]'', is endemic to the Mt Shasta region of [[California]], and the extinct species ''[[Neviusia dunthornei]]'' is found in [[shale]] deposits in the [[Okanagan Highland]]s of Washington and British Columbia.

Neviusia (after Rev. R. D. Nevius, who discovered it). Rosaceae. Snow Wreath. Ornamental shrub sometimes planted for its white flowers.

Deciduous: Lvs. alternate, petioled, doubly serrate, stipulate: fls. perfect, in clusters or solitary; calyx-tube flattish; sepals 5, petal-like, spreading, incisely serrate; petals 0; stamens numerous, longer than the sepals, persistent; carpels 2-4, styles slender, curved at the apex, slightly shorter than the stamens: fr. consisting of drupe-like achenes inclosed by the persistent calyx. — One species, found only in Ala. near Tuscaloosa and on Sand Mt. A very distinct genus allied to Kerria and Rubus, well distinguished by its apetalous fls.

The snow wreath is a low or medium-sized shrub with slender wand-like branches, bright green generally ovate leaves and white feathery flowers in clusters arranged wreath-like along the branches. It does not seem perfectly hardy north of Philadelphia though it can be grown as far north as Massachusetts in sheltered localities; and it produces flowers on the young growth, if partly killed back. Even South it does not develop in every situation its full beauty which earned it the name "snow wreath" its flowers are likely to be greenish or dirty white instead of snowy. It is therefore not a plant to be recommended for general planting. If forced in the greenhouse the flowers come out always pure white, and covered with its feathery blossoms it is an object of great beauty. It likes a loamy and well- drained soil and a warm sheltered position.

Propagation is by greenwood nuttings under glass, and by seeds.
