History
Buddleja fallowiana var. alba is endemic to Yunnan in western China, where it grows in open woodland, along forest edges and watercourses. The shrub was considered superior to the lavender-blue flowered B. fallowiana by William Bean.
Introduced to cultivation as seed sent to England in 1925 by George Forrest, the variety was named by Lucien Sabourin.
