Diodia Saponarioides
''Diodia'' (or buttonweed) is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae. It was described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753. The genus is found from southern and eastern United States, South America, Central America, Mexico, the West Indies and tropical Africa. Other buttonweeds Many species of ''Diodia'' have been transferred to a closely related genus '' Diodella'', and therefore the name buttonweed also applies to these species. 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.

Diodia Virginiana
''Diodia virginiana'' is a plant species in the Rubiaceae, common name Virginia buttonweed. It is a spreading, matted perennial with opposite leaves, often mottled because of a virus that attacks the foliage. Flowers are white, cross-shaped with 4 petals. Fruits are green, often floating on water. The species can become a nuisance weed, hard to eradicate because of underground parts that remain behind when you try to pull up the plant. ''Diodia virginiana'' is native to Cuba, Nicaragua, Mexico, Connecticut, and the south-central and southeastern United States. It is known from every state on the Gulf and Atlantic coasts from Texas to New Jersey as well as all the states in the Tennessee and Ohio River Valley The Ohio River is a long river in the United States.
