Spermacoce remota, also known as the woodland false buttonweed, is a plant species belonging to the Rubiaceae family. It is found in various regions including the southeastern United States, West Indies, Mexico, Central and South America, and has also been naturalized in several other countries. This perennial herb or sub-shrub can grow up to 70 cm tall and has either round or square stems. Its leaves are lanceolate and can reach up to 5 cm in length. The plant produces small white flowers in clusters at the top of its stem. It is a popular spot for butterflies to lay their eggs, particularly the Anartia fatima species.
