species of perennial flowering plants in the verbena family, Verbenaceae. They are native to
tropical regions of the Americas and Africa but exist as an introduced species in numerous
areas, especially in the Australian-Pacific region. The genus includes both herbaceous plants
and shrubs growing to 0.5–2 m (1.6–6.6 ft) tall. Their common names are shrub verbenas or
lantanas. The generic name originated in Late Latin, where it refers to the unrelated Viburnum
lantana.[2]
Lantana's aromatic flower clusters (called umbels) are a mix of red, orange, yellow, or blue and
white florets. Other colors exist as new varieties are being selected. The flowers typically change
color as they mature, resulting in inflorescences that are two- or three-colored. A common name
for Lantana camara is "Ham 'n Eggs" due to the adjacent pink and yellow inflorescences.
"Wild lantanas" are plants of the unrelated genus Abronia, usually called "sand-verbenas".
