Abelia is a genus of flowering plants in the honeysuckle family, Caprifoliaceae. The genus currently includes six species native to China, Taiwan, and Vietnam.
The genus previously contained about 30 species and hybrids. Molecular phylogenetic studies showed that the genus was not monophyletic. Abelia section Zabelia was raised to the genus Zabelia, and the majority of Abelia species have been transferred to other genera, including Diabelia, Lonicera, and Vesalea.
