Flueggea virosa, the common bushweed, simpleleaf bushweed (a name it shares with Flueggea acidoton), white-berry bush, snowberry tree (a name it shares with Symphoricarpos albus), or Chinese waterberry, is a widespread species of flowering plant in the family Phyllanthaceae.[3][4] It is native to the Old World tropics and subtropics; Africa, Madagascar and other Indian Ocean islands, the Arabian Peninsula, the Indian Subcontinent, southern China, Southeast Asia, Malesia, New Guinea, and Australia.[2] It has also been introduced to Florida and Puerto Rico.[2] Dispersed by birds, it has been assessed as Least Concern.[1][5]

A deciduous shrub or tree reaching 6 m (20 ft), it is found in the seasonally dry tropics and subtropics (and is absent from true deserts and rainforests) at elevations from 100 to 2,300 m (300 to 7,500 ft).[4][6] Its white berries are edible.[5][7]
