<em>Flueggea virosa</em>, commonly known as the common bushweed, is a plant species with documented occurrences in Singapore, Taiwan, and the United States. It typically occupies diverse terrestrial habitats, often adapting to a wide range of environmental conditions. The species is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, indicating that it is not currently facing significant conservation pressure globally. Common bushweed belongs to the genus <em>Flueggea</em> and is a member of the family Phyllanthaceae, often recognized as a shrub or small tree found in tropical and subtropical regions. It typically grows in forest margins, secondary vegetation, and disturbed areas, where it can establish itself in varied soil types.
