Zabelia corymbosa (synonym Abelia corymbosa) is a species of flowering plant in the honeysuckle family, Caprifoliaceae.[2] It is native to Central Asia, where it occurs in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan.[1]

This is a shrub growing up to 3 to 4 meters tall. The dull green, oval-shaped leaves vary in size. Tubular flowers grow in pairs in the leaf axils. The flowers are 1 to 2 centimeters long and are a pink-tinged white in color.[3]

This species was described (as Abelia corymbosa) by Eduard August von Regel and Johannes Theodor Schmalhausen in 1878, and transferred to Zabelia by Tomitaro Makino in 1948.[2][4]
