Buddleja filibracteolata

Buddleja filibracteolata is a small shrub from the rainforests of Costa Rica, described in 2007, with white spike-shaped flowers. It is a wild species of cloud and rainforest ravines and is rarely grown, so care is based on general Buddleja and tropical highland shrub knowledge.
