Discussion
Species 1: e United States.
Prior to 1972, the single species of Galax was known as G. aphylla Linnaeus; the type of that name was shown by R. K. Brummitt (1972) to represent a species of Nemophila (Hydrophyllaceae). Because Galax Linnaeus 1753 was based on the Nemophila type, the later name Galax Sims has been conserved.
