Buddleja domingensis, also known as the Hispaniolan butterfly bush, is a species endemic to the high mountain ranges in the Caribbean island of Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic), growing in rocky, limestone ravines, along forest edges and roadsides.
The species has been given the specific epithet "domingensis", as it occurs on the island of Hispaniola. This island was historically called Santo Domingo, or Saint-Domingue.
It was first described and named by Ignatz Urban in 1908.[2][3]
