Buddleja davidii (spelling variant Buddleia davidii), also called summer lilac, butterfly-bush, or orange eye, is a species of flowering plant in the family Scrophulariaceae, native to Sichuan and Hubei provinces in central China, and also Japan. [1] It is widely used as an ornamental plant, and many named varieties are in cultivation.
Buddleja davidii var. veitchiana was collected in Hubei and introduced to cultivation by E. H. Wilson; it was named for the British nurseryman and horticulturist James Veitch by Rehder. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The taxonomy of the plant and the other five davidii varieties has been challenged in recent years.

Buddleja davidii var. alba is endemic to central and western China. [1] The plant has also been treated as a form, and a cultivar ('Alba'). [2] However, Anthonius Leeuwenberg sank var. alba and the other five varieties of davidii as synonyms, [3] considering them to be within the natural variation of a species, a treatment also adopted in the Flora of China published in 1996.
Buddleja davidii var. wilsonii is one of the more readily identifiable varieties by virtue of its lax, somewhat pendulous, delicate panicles, < 60 cm long, of lilac-pink flowers; [4] the flowers have reflexed margins to the lobes of the corollas; the leaves are narrower than the type.
Buddleja davidii var. magnifica is endemic to much of the same area as the type; [where?] it was named by Rehder and E. H. Wilson in 1909. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The taxonomy of the plant and the other five davidii varieties has been challenged in recent years.
