Abstract: To provide reference and basis for improving the quality evaluation system of Buddleja officinalis Maxim., the research progress of chemical composition, quality evaluation system and control method of Buddleja officinalis Maxim. are systematically analyzed. A large number of domestic and foreign related references are reviewed, compared and analyzed, and summarized and reviewed. There are abundant chemical constituents in Buddleja officinalis Maxim., flavonoids, phenylethanol glycosides, volatile oils and triterpenoids were the main active substances. The quality control methods involved traditional character identification, microscopic identification, physical and chemical identification, spectroscopy, chromatography and other techniques. Although there are many quality control methods, it is not perfect. In the face of the problems of adulteration and fraud, and the evaluation of grades, it is particularly important to establish a set of high-sensitivity and special-specific quality evaluation system of Buddleja officinalis Maxim..
