Bohlenia is an extinct flowering plant genus in the soapberry family Sapindaceae which is solely known from Eocene sediments exposed in western North America. The genus contains two described species, the type species Bohlenia americana along with Bohlenia insignis. Early description of the genus included both leaves and fruits, however the fruits were removed and named Dipteronia brownii 15 years later. The genus had been considered a part of the tribe Paullinieae, but is currently placed incertae sedis within Sapindaceae.
