Buddleja
''Buddleja'', or ''Buddleia'' (also historically given as Buddlea) commonly known as the butterfly bush〔''Sunset Western Garden Book,'' 1995:606–607; ''OED:'' "Buddleia"〕 is a genus comprising over 100 species of flowering plants endemic to Asia, Africa, and the Americas. The generic name bestowed by Linnaeus posthumously honoured the Reverend Adam Buddle (1662–1715), a botanist and rector in Essex, England, at the suggestion of Dr. William Houstoun. Houstoun sent the first plants to become known to science as buddleja (''B. americana'') to England from the Caribbean about 15 years after Buddle's death.
==Nomenclature==
The botanic name has been the source of some confusion. By modern practice of botanical Latin, the spelling of a generic name made from 'Buddle' would be ''Buddleia'', but Linnaeus in his ''Species Plantarum'' of 1753 and 1754 spelled it ''Buddleja'', with the long i between two vowels, common in early modern orthography.〔Linnaei, C. (1753). ''Species plantarum''. Impensis Laurentii Salvii, Stockholm.〕 The pronunciation of the long i in ''Buddleja'' as ''j'' is a common modern error. The International Code of Botanical Nomenclature has gradually changed to incorporate stricter rules about orthographic variants, and as of the 2006 edition requires (article 60, particularly 60.5) that Linnaeus' spelling should be followed in this case.〔.〕
