Lantana indica Roxb. Fam: Verbenaceae; Shrub growing in the hedges of agriculture land, near Shimoga Karnataka 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.

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). Lantana camara var. lantana should be the autonym for non-prickle variety, though this name is not in use. In the plant list , there are more than 20 synonyms , not all making sense .

LANTANA FLOWER QUERY: I needed ur expert guidance on this flower of the lantana that I have attached. It is orange in colour and is in full bloom in the lower shiwaliks. Could u tell me whether this orange colour is rare as compared to the standard yellow/pinkish flowers? Could u tell me in general about the lantana weed? - 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 India along roadsides, as weeds.... never photographed it (ha ha) because its a "weed". I have yellow in my garden here...very hardy . and pinkish mauve in a hanging basket.. that vareity is not so hardy..., - 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. Invasive Alien Flora of India used in Traditional Healing.

I have a PDF for those interested. I never knew its branches are that strong that they can be turned into furniture.. extraordinary.... live and learn I guess..
