Buddleja loricata Leeuwenb.

Shrubs, bushy, 1-3.5 m tall; ultimate twigs cylindric or 4-angled, rusty tomentose, tomentum of rather long often branched hairs. Leaves discolorous, drying dark above, and deeply rugose, lower surface densely rusty-tomentose, linear, linear-lanceolate narrowly oblong-elliptic or oblong-lanceolate, 1.5-9 cm long and 0.2-2 cm broad; base rounded or cuneate; margins distinctly crenulate; interpetiolar ridge distinct: petioles 2-10 mm long, broad at the base, rusty-tomentose. Inflorescence with flowers congested in paniculate cymes, the peduncles, pedicels and calyces tomentose; bracts narrowly acuminate from a broad base, tomentose, 2-5 mm long. Calyx about 2 mm long, lobed to slightly below the middle, tomentose without, glabrous within. Corolla cream or 'dirty white with an orange throat', about 4 mm long, lobed to about the middle, tomentose without except where covered by the calyx and towards the margins, sparsely pubescent within on the lobes, and sometimes with a few simple hairs bordering the decurrent filaments; lobes broad subquadrate, the broad apex shallowly notched at or near the centre. Stamens with free portion of filament very short, about 0-5 mm; anthers exserted or subexserted the connective dorsally pubescent. Ovary tomentose narrowing into a rather thick style which is up to 1 mm long; stigma terminal subexserted. Capsule tomentose, exserted by just over half from the calyx tube, the lobes of the persistent calyx reaching to about 3/4 of the way up the capsule.

Can be grown by cuttings.
