Buddleja crispa, sometimes called the Himalayan Butterfly Bush, is native to Afghanistan, Bhutan, North India, Nepal, Pakistan and China (Gansu, Sichuan, Xizang), where it grows on dry river beds, slopes with boulders, exposed cliffs, and in thickets, at elevations of 1400–4300 m.[1] Named by Bentham in 1835, B. crispa was introduced to cultivation in 1850,[2] and came to be considered one of the more attractive species within the genus In his 1979 revision of the taxonomy of the African and Asiatic species of Buddleja, the Dutch botanist Anthonius Leeuwenberg controversially sank five Chinese species as B. crispa on the basis of the similarity in the individual flowers, dismissing the wide ranges in size of both inflorescence and leaf as attributable to environmental factors.[5] It was Leeuwenberg’s taxonomy which was adopted in the Flora of China[1] published in 1996. Until DNA analysis can prove otherwise, it is this classification which is accepted here. The five former species, still widely recognized in horticulture, are: Buddleja agathosma, Buddleja caryopteridifolia, Buddleja farreri, Buddleja sterniana, and Buddleja tibetica.
The ‘original’ B. crispa as known to horticulture, cloned from a plant grown at Aldenham, England (see Cultivation), is a comparatively slow growing deciduous shrub of bushy habit, reaching 3.5 m high, more in spread.[6] Young twigs and both sides of the leaves are covered with a white or tawny loose felt. The leaves are ovate-lanceolate, 5–12 cm long by 2.0–4.5 cm wide, with petioles 0,6–2,5 cm. The shrub flowers from February to August.[7] The fragrant flowers form terminal panicles 7–10 cm long by 5 cm wide. The corolla is lilac, with an orange throat.[8] 2n = 38 (diploid).[9]
The former species sunk by Leeuwenberg, as listed in the preceding section, have, with the exception of “B. sterniana“, inflorescences of varying density < 12 cm long, complemented by leaves of variable size and shape, often covered in a dense white tomentum when young. The exception, “B. sterniana“, has markedly smaller inflorescences and leaves < 6 cm long.

Looks like Buddleia As I actually observed this plant with you this week and I was unable to conceive anything about this, I am also interested to learn what this is..
I am sure this will bear flowers soon, though I have seen this without flowers at many places and it is a widespread one, I think this will be identified soon.. I will look out for the flowers or any other changes and report. It is Budleja crispa
