''Buddleja saligna'', the false, or bastard, olive, is almost endemic to South Africa where it has a wide distribution. It occurs most often in ravines and against outcrops, and is distributed from coastal elevations to the central plateau at elevations of < 2000 m. The species was first described and named by Willdenow in 1809.〔Willdenow, C. L. (1809). ''Enum. Hort. Berol.'' 1:159, 1809.〕〔Leeuwenberg, A. J. M. (1979) ''The Loganiaceae of Africa XVIII Buddleja L. II, Revision of the African & Asiatic species''. H. Veenman & Zonen, Wageningen, Nederland〕 ==Description== ''Buddleja saligna'' is an evergreen shrub or small tree, growing < 15 m in height with a trunk diameter of 40 cm, and very similar to ''Salix'' and ''Olea''. The bark becomes longitudinally furrowed with age. The branchlets are quadrangular in section, and winged. The opposite, subcoriaceous narrowly elliptic to linear leaves vary considerably in size and shape, from 1.2 – 15 cm long by 0.2 – 3 cm wide. The upper surface of the leaf is medium to dark green, glabrous and smooth, while the underside is clothed in pale stellate hairs. The honey - scented flowers are cream or white, occasionally with a reddish orange throat, appearing as large terminal heads 12 cm × 12 cm in spring and summer; the corollas are 4 mm in length.〔 The dense timber (specific gravity 0.98) is of exceptionally high quality, though rarely found in sizes suitable for furniture.
