This species is found in Southern Japan including Liukiu and 

 the southern parts of Shikoku and Kiusiu. It is very closely 

 allied to Buddleia Lindleyana Fortune of China, in which the 

 stamens are inserted below the middle of the corolla-tube, 

 and the branches more tetragonous. B. Lindleyana Fortune 

 in the Botanic Garden, Sc. Coll. Imp. Univ. of Tokyo is 

 said to have been imported from Liukiu, but the tradition 

 is probably error, and we have not seen no specimen from the 

 Island.
