Abstract: The present paper is the outcome of a taxonomic study of the Chinese Buddleja in our Flora. Buddleja is one of the largest genus in the Loganiaceae. The geographical distribution of this genus is all over our Chinese territories except the northeast regions, extending from 86 to 120 of longitude and 18 to 38 of latitude. It includes 2 subgenera, 2 sections with 28 species and 6 varieties. Ten synonyms are herewith reported as new. The basic idea of classification of Marquand and Leeu wenberg is accordingly adopted, but some important alternations are made necessary for our own arrangements.

Key words: GENUS BUDDLEJA L.
