Description
Buddleja corrugata is a small, dioecious, multi-branched shrub 0.1–1 m high, with grey-black rimose bark. The young branches are terete and tomentose, bearing small, sessile, subcoriaceous ovate, ovate-oblong, or linear, leaves 1–4 cm long by 0.2–3 cm wide. The yellow or orange inflorescences comprise 3–8 pairs of globose heads 0.5–1 cm in diameter, each with 6–20 flowers, subtended by short bracts; the corolla tubes are 2–4 mm long.[2]
The species is considered closely related to Buddleja utahensis and Buddleja marrubiifolia.[2]
