Buntings are a group of Eurasian and African passerine birds of the family Emberizidae.
Lespedeza is a genus of flowering plants in the pea family (Fabaceae), commonly known as bush clovers or Japanese clovers.
According to American botanist Asa Gray, the Lespedeza owes its name to governor of East Florida Vicente Manuel de Céspedes; who, through a letter, allowed to botanist André Michaux explore the East Florida in search of new species of plants, but when Céspedes wrote the letter, at the beginning of it, the name of Céspedes was changed to "Zespedez". So, when the Michaux´s book Flora Boreali-Americana was printed, the name "Céspedes" to refer to the plant was written as "Lespedez", word of which derived the current name of the plant.
