Lantana (/ l æ n ˈ t ɑː n ə,-ˈ t eɪ-/) [2] is a genus of about 150 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, South and Northeastern part of India.
The bug is gregarious, gathering in large numbers to suck the sap from the stems of plants. Most of its known host species are in the verbena family, Verbenaceae. [5] In its native range in Mexico it is only associated with plants in genus Lantana. [3] It lays eggs on the stems of the plants and then guards them against predators.
Lantana montevidensis is a species of lantana native to South America. It is known by many common names, such as: trailing lantana , weeping lantana , creeping lantana , small lantana , purple lantana or trailing shrubverbena .
Lantana camara (common lantana) is a species of flowering plant in the verbena family (Verbenaceae), native to the American tropics. [5] [6] It is a very adaptable species, which can inhabit a wide variety of ecosystems; once it has been introduced into a habitat it spreads rapidly; between 45ºN and 45ºS and less than 1,400 metres (4,600 feet) in altitude.
Lantana horrida is a species of flowering plant in the verbena family. It is found in Mexico and the West Indies to subtropical South America. It lives in a variety of habitats, including tropical savanna, forest, montane, shrubland, and grassland. [3]
The plants listed may be ornamental, medicinal, and/or edible. Several of them bear edible fruit. Plants are selectively bred for phenotypic traits (such as flower colour) and other hereditary traits. When developing a new variety, a plant breeder might value such characteristics as appearance, disease resistance, and hardiness.
Vulnerable (VU) species are considered to be facing a high risk of extinction in the wild. As of September 2016, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) lists 5430 Vulnerable (VU) plant species. [1] 25% of all evaluated plant species are listed as Vulnerable. The IUCN also lists 244 subspecies and 235 varieties as Vulnerable.
