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.
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 to which the species owes its name.
Distribution and habitat
It occurs in rainforests and areas of high vegetation associated with ravines, at elevations of 1000-1200 m.
