Description
Buddleja chenopodiifolia is a dioecious shrub 1–2 m high, with dark brown fissured bark. The branches are subquadrangular and covered with a dense white tomentum. The membranaceous ovate leaves have 0.5–1 cm petioles, and are 4–8 cm long by 1.3–3.5 cm wide, glabrescent above but with white tomentum below. The yellowish-white leafy-bracted inflorescences are 10–20 cm long, comprising 6–14 pairs of globose heads < 1 cm in diameter, each head with 6–20 flowers; the corolla tubes are 1.7–2.5 mm long.[2]
Cultivation
The shrub is not known to be in cultivation.
gollark: I don't use it, it just seems verbose and poorly designed.
gollark: It apparently *is* pretty feature-competitive with Go. And Go is very trendy.
gollark: I too love a total lack of memory safety and general low-levelness?
gollark: Haskell kind of cool but not something I actually want to write serious code in.
gollark: Python does "dynamic" without "hahahaha stuff can randomly be coerced".
