Buddleja soratae is a dioecious shrub or small tree 5 - 6 m high. The younger branches are quadrangular, the youngest sections tomentose, bearing membranaceous lanceolate to elliptic leaves with 0.5 - 1 cm petioles, and are 7 - 14 cm long by 2 - 4 cm wide, glabrescent above but tomentose below. The orange leafy- bracted inflorescences are 12 - 15 cm long by 10 - 15 cm wide, comprising 2 - 3 orders of branches bearing cymes of 6 - 9 flowers on peduncles 0.5 - 1 cm long. Buddleja soratae is considered very similar to B. cardanasii and B. multiceps, differing from the latter only in the shape of the leaves.

In China, trees grow to 20 m tall, with a trunk to 1 m d.b.h.; elsewhere (Myanmar) they may be larger: up to 30 m tall and up to 2.4 or even 2.7 m girth, with a straight and cylindrical trunk.ITTO Tropical Forest News (accessed 27/12/2016) Branchlets slightly pendent, slender, together with petioles and leaf blades golden villous when young. Petioles are cylindrical, 2–6 mm; leaf blades are lanceolate to narrowly so, 40-80 × 10–30 mm, abaxially grey-green and pilose mostly in axils of lateral veins, adaxially green and glabrous to glabrescent, base narrowed or obtuse, apex acuminate; lateral veins in 5-7 pairs, inconspicuous.

Buddleja iresinoides is a dioecious shrub 1 - 3 m, occasionally < 5 m, high with light grey finely-striated bark. The pendulous branches are subquadrangular, tomentulose or tomentose, bearing lanceolate to ovate leaves 5 - 15 cm long by 2 - 5 cm wide on 0.5 - 1.5 cm petioles, glabrous above and tomentose, tomentulose, or even glabrescent below. The cream inflorescence is paniculate, 10 - 15 cm long with two orders of branches, the flowers borne in small globose heads 4 - 6 mm in diameter and comprising 3 - 12 flowers. The corolla is < 2 mm long and of differing shape depending on the sex of the plant, which led Fries to mistakenly identify two separate species (see Synonyms).

The cap is quite thinly fleshy, in diameter, initially quite spherical, later bluntly convex to bell-shaped, usually with an umbo, and often irregular and bent or wavy towards the margin. The margin is initially curved inward, then straight, sometimes at the margin itself slightly flexuosely rugose or even briefly fimbriate. The cap surface is dry and opaque, fibrillosely squamulose, tomentose, at first vivid yellow ochre to yellow or copper olivaceous, later glabrescent or quite glabrous and when mature brownish olive or light olive, often with a saffron tint at the margin, and with numerous fibrils from the universal veil when young; later the margin is mostly concolorous. The gills are crowded closely together and have an emarginate attachment to the stem.
