There are also many species of false buttonweeds in the related genus ''Spermacoce''. ''Abutilon theophrasti'' in the family Malvaceae is also known by the common name of buttonweed.

Constantine Samuel Rafinesque
Constantine Samuel Rafinesque-Schmaltz (; October 22, 1783September 18, 1840) was a French 19th-century polymath born near Constantinople in the Ottoman Empire and self-educated in France. He traveled as a young man in the United States, ultimately settling in Ohio in 1815, where he made notable contributions to botany, zoology, and the study of prehistoric earthworks in North America. He also contributed to the study of ancient Mesoamerican linguistics, in addition to work he had already completed in Europe. Rafinesque was an eccentric and erratic genius. He was an autodidact, who excelled in various fields of knowledge, as a zoologist, botanist, writer and polyglot.

Indeed, he was an outcast in the American scientific community whose submissions were rejected automatically by leading journals. Among his theories were ...
