Berzelia lanuginosa, commonly known as common button bush, is a species of flowering plant in the family Bruniaceae native to the Western Cape region of South Africa.[2] It is a perennial shrub that is hardy from USDA hardiness zones 9a to 11. It grows to be 4 to 6 feet (1.2 to 1.8 m) tall.[3]
Carl Linnaeus, the "father of taxonomy", described it as Brunia lanuginosa in volume one of his Species Plantarum in 1753.[4] French botanist erected the genus Berzelia, giving it the binomial name Berzelia lanuginosa in 1826.
