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. The Velvetleaf Abutilon (Abutilon theophrasti) in the family Malvaceae is also known by the common name of Buttonweed.
