Description
Buddleja cuspidata is a shrub 3–4 m in height, with brown tomentose branchlets, obscurely quadrangular. The opposite, thinly coriaceous leaves' blades are ovate or elliptic, 9–20 cm long by 4–9 cm wide, acuminate at the apex, decurrent into the petiole, sparsely pubescent above, brown tomentose beneath; the margins serrate-dentate to crenate-dentate. The narrow yellow inflorescences are axillary and spicate, 3–15 cm long by 1–1.5 cm wide; the corollas 7.5–8.5 mm long.
Buddleja cuspidata is considered closely allied to B. axillaris and B. sphaerocalyx.[2]
