Description
Buddleja fragifera is a shrub 2–3 m in height, with stellate-pubescent branchlets. The opposite leaves have petioles 0.4–1 cm long, the blade ovate to elliptic, 0.8–3 cm long by 0.5–2.4 cm wide, obtuse or rounded at the apex, and subcordate to cuneate at the base, and covered by a thick felt-like indumentum. The dark yellow to orange flowers are sessile, the corollas 6–7.5 mm long.[2]
Cultivation
Buddleja fragifera is not known to be in cultivation.
gollark: It just LZW-compresses the filesystem image and `fs` emulation code.
gollark: It also minifies your stuff using a proprietary osmarks.tk API!
gollark: CCA?
gollark: It also incorporates compression which doesn't actually end up reducing the size.
gollark: I have a cool thing for bundling a program and its dependencies into a single file and mounting said file as a filesystem.
