The generic name bestowed by Linnaeus posthumously honoured the Reverend Adam Buddle (1662–1715), an English botanist and rector , at the suggestion ...
Buddleja officinalis is a deciduous early-spring flowering shrub native to west Hubei, Sichuan, and Yunnan provinces in China. [1] Discovered in 1875 by Pavel Piasetski, [ 2 ] a surgeon in the Russian army, B. officinalis was named and described by Maximowicz in 1880.
Buddleja polystachya is a multi-branched shrub or occasionally small tree endemic to the semi-arid highlands flanking the Red Sea in Eritrea, Ethiopia, Saudi Arabia, Somalia and Yemen, where it grows in secondary scrub or around forest, often along watercourses, at elevations of between 2,200 and 3,600 m; its range extends southward into the highlands of Kenya and Tanzania.
Buddleja fallowiana is a deciduous shrub typically growing to a height of 4 m (13 ft). Of loose habit, the plant has young shoots clothed with a dense white felt. The ovate to narrowly elliptic leaves are 4–13 cm (1.6–5.1 in) long by 1 cm (0.39 in) wide, acuminate or acute at the apex; the upper and lower surfaces densely tomentose, bestowing a silvery grey sheen.
Buddleja marrubiifolia is a dioecious multi-branched shrub that is 0.5 to 2 m (1.6 to 6.6 ft) high with greyish to blackish rimose bark. The young branches are terete and tomentose, bearing ovate to rhomboid leaves that are 1 to 3 cm (0.39 to 1.18 in) long by 0.6 to 1.5 cm (0.24 to 0.59 in) wide, membranaceous to subcoriaceous, and densely tomentose on both surfaces.
Buddleja albiflora is a deciduous shrub in the family Scrophulariaceae. [1] [2] It is native to the mountains of central China, where it grows on shrub-clad slopes at altitudes of between 1,000 and 2,000 m. Named rather carelessly by Hemsley, the species was discovered by Henry, and introduced to western cultivation by Wilson in 1900. [3]
Buddleja nivea reaches 1–3 m high, and is chiefly distinguished by the dense white indumentum covering the branchlets, calyxes, and undersides of the leaves. The lanceolate leaves are of variable size, 6–22 cm long by 1.5–11 cm wide; they are acute or acuminate at the apex, rounded at the base, and very coarsely toothed except at the apex.
Buddleja glomerata is a shrub endemic to the mountains of the Karoo desert in South Africa, where it grows among boulders on dry hillsides. The species was first described and named by Heinrich Wendland in 1825. [1] The shrub has a number of common names locally, the most popular being 'Karoo Sagewood'. [2]
