The gem Aleisanthiopsis is described to accommodate the species Greenea distantiflora and a new species Aleisanthiopsis multiflora described here. The character states of Aleisanthiopsis are presented. Illustrations are provided for both species. An approximate chromosome count is given for A. distantiflora . It is suggested, that Aleisanthiopsis may be the sister genus to Aleisanthia , a genus currently placed in the Rondeletieae subfamily Cinconoideae. It is shown that the genus Greeniopsis is very similar to Aleisanthia and Aleisanthiopsis except for the seed characters.
