Description

Buddleja longifolia is a dioecious shrub or small tree 1–7 m, occasionally <10 m, high with grey, furrowed bark. The young branches are quadrangular and tomentulose, bearing oblong-lanceolate to oblong elliptic leaves 10 – 20 cm long by 3 – 6.5 cm wide, glabrescent above, tomentose to tomentulose below. The white to pale yellow paniculate inflorescence is 15 – 25 cm long by 15 – 22 cm wide with three orders of branches, the flowers borne in sessile cymules 4 –7  mm in diameter, each with 1 – 6 flowers. The corolla is 2 – 3 mm long.[1]

Cultivation

The species is not known to be in cultivation.

gollark: Yes, since if you try and talk about nuance or tradeoffs that's interpreted as "you do not agree and therefore must be part of the outgroup". Sometimes.
gollark: There are arguments both ways. On the one hand you're trying to make sure that the people you have match the population, but on the other you're going about hiring people based on factors other than how well they can do the job (though that was... probably going to happen anyway, considering), and people may worry that they got in only because of being some race/gender.
gollark: Also, more than that, political polarization generally.
gollark: Sadly, yes, first-past-the-post is awful that way.
gollark: Yes, I agree (except possibly not with the "you need to choose a side" bit); my point is that people often *do act as if* the other side is always wrong, regardless of whether they actually *are*.
