Ligustrum expansum is a plant species native to China and Vietnam.

[2] The Flora of China lists Ligustrum robustum subsp.

chinense P.S.Green as a separate taxon,[3] but more recent sources regard this name as a synonym of L.

[1] Combining the two listings yields a distribution within China including the Provinces of Anhui, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Sichuan, and Yunnan.

It was named by Pliny and Virgil.
