Spermacoce neoterminalis has been recognized as a Florida endemic, primarily of pine rocklands, distinguished by its longer corolla tube (1.25-2.5 mm long) and inflorescence usually restricted to the terminal node (Herndon 1987, as Borreria terminals; Kartesz & Gandhi 1992, as S. terminalis, nom. illeg.; Wunderlin et al. 2018). It has been treated also a synonym of the non-native S. verticillata (Wunderlin 1979). This group belongs in the genus Borreria s.str. (Salas et al. 2015; Florentin et al. 2017).
