Description
Buddleja cardenasii is a dioecious shrub 3–4 m high, with branches which are subquadrangular and tomentose. The subcoriaceous leaves are elliptic, lanceolate or ovate, 10–12 cm long by 8 cm wide, with a glabrescent and rugose upper surface. The orange inflorescences are paniculate 7–25 cm long by 7–20 cm wide, comprising cymes each with 6–9 flowers; the corollas are 3–3.5 mm long.[1]
The species is very similar to B. soratae; further research may well prove them conspecific.[1]
Cultivation
The shrub is not known to be in cultivation.
gollark: I typecheck my programs by running them and seeing if they break.
gollark: Hmm, it appears it actually *does* do that except for short (<60s) timers.
gollark: I don't think it's *efficient* to run a timer for every reminder, but it's more precise than my polling approach.
gollark: R. Danny runs a timer for every reminder or something bizarre like that, mine just queries the database for reminders which are due and not expired every minute.
gollark: The reminder database is only checked every minute.
