Zusammenfassung:	A second species is added to Neviusia (Rosaceae: Kerrieae), previously known as a single rare species in the southeastern United States. The new species, N. cliftonii from northern California, differs from N. alabamensis primarily in having petals, fewer stamens, and more broadly ovate, coarsely toothed leaves. The relict nature of Neviusia is further supported by newly recognized fossils from the Eocene of British Columbia, Canada.
