B. corrugata is a small, dioecious, multi-branched shrub 0.1 – 1 m high, with grey - black rimose bark. The young branches are terete and tomentose, bearing small, sessile, subcoriaceous ovate, ovate-oblong, or linear, leaves 1 – 4 cm long by 0.2 – 3 cm wide. The yellow or orange inflorescences comprise 3 - 8 pairs of globose heads 0.5 – 1 cm in diameter, each with between 6 and 20 flowers, subtended by short bracts; the corolla tubes are 2 – 4 mm long.[2]
The species is considered closely related to Buddleja utahensis and Buddleja marrubiifolia.[2]
Jones identified three subspecies, distinguished by differences in the leaves:
The species is not known to be in cultivation.
