|discussion=<p><i>Emilia fosbergii</i> is a tropical Asian weed that has become established in the flora; it may be expected elsewhere as an occasional escape. It is the more frequently collected <i>Emilia</i> in the flora. Names misapplied to plants of <i>E. fosbergii</i> include E. javanica (Burman f.) C. B. Robinson and E. sagittata Willdenow.</p>
