A genus of tropical flowering plants in the Rubiaceae family, commonly known as buttonweed or false buttonweed.
Named after Olof Börse, a Swedish botanist, using the Linnaean -ia suffix for genus names. Named in honor of botanical contributors, following Linnaean conventions.
Borreria plants are so tough and adaptable they grow as weeds in many warm regions—some species are now found on nearly every continent because they traveled with human crops and trade goods.
