Closely akin to Buddleia Forrestii, Diels, but differing in the 
tomentose ovary and fruit. The pilosity of leaf, calyx, and 
ovary is at times a very uncertain character in the genus Budd- 
leia; the three species, Forrestii, limitanea, and taliensis, are 
easily separable from the characters given, yet they form a very 
closely allied series and intermediates between them may yet 
be found.
