Western Szech'uan : Mupin, thickets, alt. 1300-1600 m., October 

 1908 (No. 1351, type). Cultivated at the Arnold Arboretum, Septem- 

 ber 10, 1912 (flowering specimens). 



This new species seems most closely related to B. officinalis Maximowicz which 

 differs chiefly in its broader and shorter panicles and shorter ovoid obtuse capsules. 

 In general appearance it somewhat resembles Buddleia nivea Duthie, which has a 

 much shorter corolla with the anthers affixed immediately below the mouth, 

 a relatively long calyx and short, stout fruit.
