Abstract
Shrubs or trees, rarely lianas or suffrutescent herbs. Leaves opposite, rarely alternate, petiolate to sessile, usually with interpetiolar lines, sometimes connate, simple. Lamina pinnately veined; margins entire, serrate, crenate, or dentate. Indumentum of stellate and glandular multicellular hairs. Plants hermaphrodite or dioecious (most American Buddleja species). Flowers in cymes of various kinds, usually in globose heads, panicles, or verticils; tetramerous, actinomorphic, except for the often unequal calyx lobes. Calyx gamosepalous, campanulate, cup-shaped, or tubular, often unequal but not bilabiate, persistent. Corolla gamopetalous, imbricate or valvate, tubular, funnelform, salverform, or campanulate. Stamens 4, often inserted on the upper half of the corolla tube, all equal, free, alternating with the corolla lobes. Anthers bilocular, tetrasporangiate, dehiscing with longitudinal slits, introrse. Pollen grains 3-4(5)-colporate, 2-celled.
