Swinglea is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Rutaceae. [2] It only contains a single species, Swinglea glutinosa. [2]

It is native to the Philippines. [2]

The genus name of Swinglea is in honour of Walter Tennyson Swingle (1871–1952), an American agricultural botanist who contributed greatly to the classification and taxonomy of citrus. [3] The genus has one known synonym of Chaetospermum(M.Roem.) Swingle. [2] The Latin specific epithet of glutinosa is derived from gluten meaning glue. [4] Both the genus and the species were first described and published in J. Arnold Arbor. Vol.8 on page 131 in 1927. [2] [1]
