*Abelia R. Brown. Common name: Abelia.
A genus of about 30-40 species, shrubs, primarily of s. and e. Asia. Generic circumscription has been controversial, with a radical lumping proposed by Christenhusz (2013), but not widely supported (Wang et al. 2015, and others). We here circumscribe it narrowly.

See something missing or incorrect about Abelia? Let us know here:
- Please include your name and if possible, email in case when need to clarify what you wrote.
- If you opt out of including email, please be as specific as possible (e.g., which photo is incorrect?)
- Please do not submit questions asking to identify plants or about horticultural topics (e.g., how do I control an invasive plant in my garden?). Instead, those questions can be submitted here for the Carolinas region only.
- Please do not send us feedback about unkeyed species as this work is ongoing.
- Please allow time for flora edits to show in our next data release. We greatly appreciate your feedback but may require extra time to research complicated taxonomic issues.
