Biologically Active Compounds from Buddleja Species

  • Chapter
Phytochemicals in Human Health Protection, Nutrition, and Plant Defense

Part of the book series: Recent Advances in Phytochemistry ((RAPT,volume 33))

Abstract

The genus Buddleja (sometimes written as Buddleia) was named by Linnaeus after the English botanist Adam Buddle who lived in the 18th century. It is the largest genus in a taxon classed either as a separate family, the Buddlejaceae, or as tribe, the Buddlejeae, within the Loganiaceae.1 The former position is that adopted by modern taxonomists such as Hutchinson.2
