Description

Buddleja kleinii is a dioecious shrub 1 – 2.5 m high with dark-brown fissured bark. The young branches are subquadrangular and tomentose, bearing narrowly elliptic leaves 5 – 10 cm long by 1.5 – 3.5 cm wide, mostly on 1.5 – 2 cm petioles but occasionally subsessile; the blade is glabrescent above and tomentose below. The white inflorescence is 6 – 9 cm long by 2 – 4 cm wide, comprising pairs of congested cymes 1.2 – 1.7 cm in diameter, each with 10 – 15 flowers. The corolla is 6 – 6.5 mm long.[1]

Cultivation

The shrub is not known to be in cultivation.

gollark: The laptops have issues with cooling because they just slap hotter CPUs in and keep them pointlessly thin, and are unrepairable.
gollark: I mean, their phones have some good points:- amazing CPUs- shiny- 5 years of software updatesbut many bad ones:- not very durable- weird notch in screen- excessive amount of cameras- insane pricing- very locked down OS- needlessly big screens
gollark: I probably could, it would just be bad.
gollark: For example, if I install Arch on some random laptop from 10 years ago it'll probably run fine, although some hardware may not be supported and it might have trouble with browsers because those are horribly processing-intensive.
gollark: Amazingly, OSes can be mostly hardware agnostic.
