Discussion

Buddleja sessiliflora is found in association with Dodonaea viscosa, Fouquieria splendens, and Parkinsonia aculeata in Arizona and with Celtis laevigata, Fraxinus berlandieriana, and Prosopis glandulosa in southernmost Texas. It is widespread in Mexico from Sonora and Tamaulipas to the Isthmus de Tehuantepec, except in the Chihuahuan Desert, at elevations to 2800 m.
