Indian Lantana,also known as Lantana camara, is a flowering plant native to Central and South America, but is now widespread throughout the tropics and subtropics.It is a popular ornamental plant due to its vibrant colors and hardiness,but it can also be considered a weed in some areas due to its ability to spread rapidly and outcompete native plants.The flowers of the West Indian Lantana are small, typically less than an inch in diameter, and grow in clusters at the ends of stems.The color of the flowers varies depending on the cultivar,but they are often shades of pink, orange, yellow, and red.The flowers are also known for their pleasant fragrance.In addition to being an attractive plant, West Indian Lantana has also been used for medicinal purposes in traditional medicine.The leaves and stems contain compounds that are believed to have anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties,and extracts have been used to treat a variety of conditions, including skin rashes, sore throats,and digestive issues.However,it is important to note that more research is needed to fully understand the potential health benefits and risks associated with using West Indian Lantana for medicinal purposes.
