Velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti), an annual plant in the family Malvaceae, is also known as Velvet weed, butterprint, Chinese Jute, button weed and Indian mallow. Originally from southern Asia, it is now a problem weed in many countries in North America, Europe, Asia and Africa. It is highly competitive with allelopathic properties and thus has become the foremost broadleaf weed in maize and soya bean crops of USA.
