Buddleja cordobensis is a dioecious densely branched shrub 1 - 2 m high, with grey fissured bark. The young branches are terete and tomentose, bearing coriaceous, ovate leaves 2 - 8 cm long by 0.5 - 2 cm wide, thickly tomentose on both surfaces, with 0.5 cm petioles. The deep yellow inflorescences comprise one terminal and < 9 pairs of globose heads 0.6 - 1 cm in diameter, each with 12 - 25 flowers; the corolla tubes are 3 - 4 mm long.[4]
The species is considered closely related to B. araucana and B. aromatica.[4]
