Name of the plant
According to American botanist (1810–1888), the Lespedeza owes its name to governor of Vicente Manuel de Céspedes (1784–1790; who, through a letter, allowed botanist André Michaux to explore East Florida in search of new species of plants, where Michaux found Lespedeza), but when Céspedes wrote the letter, at the beginning of it, the name of Céspedes was changed to "Zespedez". So, when Michaux's book Flora Boreali-Americana of 1802 was printed, the name "Céspedes" to refer to the plant was written as "Lespedez", the word from which the current name of the plant was derived.S. Fralish, James; B. Franklin, Scott (February 2002). Taxonomy and Ecology of Woody Plants in North American Forests: Excluding. Page 568. Lespedeza – From Asia with a Spanish Twist!.

Despeleza is a synonym of Lespedeza, and this name is derived from a taxonomic anagram.

Some are grown as or , and are used as a crops, notably in the southern , and as a means of enrichment and for prevention of . In some areas, certain species are . Lespedeza, like other , have that harbor bacteria capable of nitrogen fixation from the air into a soil-bound form that can be taken up by other plants. Growers can take advantage of this process by putting the plants in their fields to release nitrogen, so they can use less fertilizer.
