Description
Buddleja filibracteolata is a shrub growing 0.9–1.3 m in height. Stems are glabrous; leaves are opposite, sessile, narrowly elliptic, measuring 3–10 cm to 0.7–2.1 cm. Inflorescences are 2–5 cm long, terminal, spike-shaped, with the corolla usually white in colour.[2]
It distinguished from other species such as Buddleja crotonoides by its sessile leaves, amplexicaul leaf blades, and spike-shaped inflorescence with the many conspicuous threadlike bracts[3] to which the species owes its name.
