About Buddleja dysophylla (Benth.) Phillips

Buddleja dysophylla (Benth.) Phillips is a straggling or climbing shrub that grows 1 to 10 meters tall, only growing erect when growing alone. It produces divaricate branching. Its branchlets are densely covered in tomentose hairs, and range in shape from terete to quadrangular. It bears opposite, petiolate leaves that are triangular to ovate, 1–10 cm long and 0.7–7.5 cm wide. Leaf apices range from acuminate to rounded, and leaves run downwards into the petiole. Leaf margins are irregular, ranging from serrate-dentate to crenate-dentate. Its inflorescences are lax, terminal and paniculate, 4–20 cm long and 4–20 cm wide. The corollas are 2.5–5 mm long, and colored white, cream, or mauve. Buddleja dysophylla is only confirmed to be in cultivation in Australia, where it is grown in Longueville and at the City Botanic Gardens, flowering there in August. It has also naturalized in the Australian states of Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales.
