Description
Buddleja ramboi is a dioecious shrub < 2 m high, with shredding brownish bark. The young branches are roughly quadrangular and tomentose, bearing small oblanceolate leaves 1.5 – 3 cm long by 0.7 – 1.2 cm wide with tomentose surfaces, more densely below. The white inflorescences are 3 – 8 cm long and comprise lax cymose clusters, sometimes with only 1 or 2 flowers; the corolla tubes are 2.5 – 3.5 mm long.[2]
Cultivation
The shrub is not known to be in cultivation.
