American plant, largely naturalised in India, often grown as hedge plant.
.
A common tropical invasive, but also a very pretty garden plant much loved by butterflies.
Flowers are loved by many species of butterflies;
Noxious weed….;
It is one among the 100 worst weed species of the world. Here in Uttarakhand it has replaced natural vegetation so that the food chains are also disturbed in protected areas. There is hardly any enemy of this species in India;
.
Key from eFlora of Pakistan:
1Bracts ovate-acuminate. Infloresence, short, cylindrical to spicate. Flowers usually white or pinkish …. Lantana indica
+Bracts linear. Inflorescence umbellate. Flowers usually scarlet, yellow or mixed coloured ….. L.camara .
Lantana camara subsp. aculeata or Lantana camara aggr. ?- our common Lanata weed ? : 1 post by 1 author. GRIN gives two different taxa as below:
Lantana camara subsp. aculeata ((≡) Lantana aculeata L. (basionym)) and Lantana camara aggr. (Lantana camara L. aggr.) Other references like eflora & India sources can be seen at Lantana
In view of these I have the feeling that our common Lantana weed must be Lantana camara subsp. aculeata & not Lantana camara L.
Pl. give your views so that I can make necessary changes in efloraofindia accordingly.
Flora Picture of the year 2011Muthu Karthick:
This notorious weed always gives gorgeous poses for camera; I love the medley of colour in this flower. Name: Lantana camara L. var. aculeata (L.) Mold. Family: Verbenaceae Location: Bear Shola, Kodaikanal, Southern Western ghats Date: 07 Nov 2010 – lantana is a weed, which can overpower native vegetation easily. It spreads quickly and destroys whatever comes in its way. And to think that it came to India only during WWII. Its seeds are poisonous to birds and humans when raw. Lantana camara is having about 600 varities, it has medicinal value as antimicrobial, antiseptic but it is toxic also mainly hepato toxic.

Lantana indica Roxb. SN Mar 30 : 10 posts by 5 authors. Attachments (2). But this looks like Lantana camara only, … Yes this should be Lantana camara. L. indica is extremely different. For comparison, please find images of L. indica collected from Nelliyampathy Forest, Palakkad during November 2013. Yes, it is Lantana camara only. Lantan indica have an elongated inflorescence axis. It produce white flowers in Uttarakhand. There are several hues of flowers, rudimentary spines were seen in the specimen I studeied. Lantan camera mostly available in plani areas That is the reason for wrong identification. I accept the comments of you friends. Why is there a varied hue of colours in L.camara sir? Is that because of the altitude variations? Yes, it is due to altitude, that is what in Matthew flora of Tamilnadu carnatic says, edaphic factor may also play role. Several cultivated dwarf varieties of Lantana are are available in the nurseries.

The attached pictures show Lantana sp. with typical features of its stem and branches. Stem and branches are free from any kind of prickles in whole of its plant instead, they are smooth and sticky. Kindly, let me know the exact species of this Lantana plant.
This plant is widely distributed on the plains and hills of Papum Pare, Arunachal Pradesh.
Typical Lantana camara sans prickles. Is it elevation speaking ? Elevation is less than 500m above mean sea level In that case it can be a variant. https://www.cabi.org/isc/datasheet/29771 From this comprehensive link about lantana camara, I got this
L. camara is a highly variable species which has been widely cultivated for over 300 years. Hundreds of cultivars and hybrids exist (Howard, 1969) and most of them belong to the L. camara complex (Stirton, 1979). Cultivars can be distinguished morphologically (flower size, shape and colour; leaf size, hairiness and colour; stem thorniness; height and branch architecture), physiologically (growth rates, toxicity to livestock) and by their chromosome number and DNA content (Stirton, 1979; Gujral and Vasudevan, 1983; Scott et al., 1997). Two groups are often recognised: one with few or no spines commonly found in the neotropics and one with spines in other parts of the world where the species is troublesome (Howard, 1970; Swarbrick, 1986). In the Pacific Islands the most common variety is the prickly L. camara var. aculeata (Thaman, 1974).

The attached plant pictures show the unique features of the Lantana sp. Whole plant does not have any prickles and the young branches are sticky.
It is widely grown in different areas of Papum Pare of Arunachal Pradesh.
Lantana camara var. aculeata ?? Lantana camara subsp. aculeata as per details herein and as per another thread: Need ID confirmation of this typical Lantana sp. ” In the Pacific Islands the most common variety is the prickly L. camara var. aculeata (Thaman, 1974). ” Quotes statement is taken from https://www.cabi.org/isc/datasheet/29771 .
That means, non prickly variety should be L. camara var. camara. I must admit, I could not find a description for var. camara in one and half hour on net.
Flora of Pakistan gives some 6-7 varieties, no description, no var. camara.
In fact in a 1996 article on JSTOR, a drawing showed L. camara var. camara with prickles. Thank you Sir for the clarification. I found this paper about several Lantana species and I hope this will help in the future (attached a pdf document)

LANTANA FLOWER QUERY: – This not rare at all. It is seen everywhere in the south. I have plenty of it along my fencing and am struggling to get rid of the young plants that sprout in the farm. The birds are fond of its fruit and it grows without any problem wherever it is dropped. – lantana is a good butterfly attraacting shrub. i have the yellow ad commo pink varieties. How can I get the other coloues mauve, orange , red, white??? i do not think they grow from seed. FA – Lantana is nothing new to India….. agree… and this color is neither… I have seen this quite often in western – yes there are varieties of colours in flowering. First I thought this could be due to the the altitude variation, but later on it was not true. experts could throw light on this. – During student life I was not aware of existence of orange flowered Lantana. I met him during College Tour to Ooty. Later I observed it many times specially on hills. Orange flowered Lantana is commonly planted in gardens due to its color. Orange flowered Lantana is used as medicine along with other Lantana. . Lantana: I never knew its branches are that strong that they can be turned into furniture.. extraordinary…. live and learn I guess..

Image of Thingam ji at Lantana involucrata in FOI are different from Lantana involucrata as per http://www.levypreserve.org/Plant-Listings/Lantana–involucrate
I have doubts if Lantana involucrata is found in India as per details at Lantana I think it may be Lantana camara subsp. aculeata or Lantana indica, but difficult to determine from this image.
I think you are right … This may be a white cultivar of Lantana camara. Its leaves are pointed or blunt, similar to Lantana camara, and not rounded like Lantana involucrata. This was photographed in cultivation, so no question of it being wild at all. Thanks for this important correction. Side view, to show the linear bracts. . Lantana camara ? : 3 posts by 3 authors.
