“…The two principal genera of Lantaneae comprise c. 75% of the species (Lippia with c. 200 species and Lantana with c. 150 species ;Atkins, 2004). However, some taxonomists consider that there are too many names in Lantana (López-Palacios, 1991;Verdcourt, 1992;Santos, 2002), preferring to recognize as few as 55 species (Sanders, 2001). Other genera are smaller: Aloysia Palau (30 species); Phyla Lour.…”

“…There is a growing effort to address the troublesome classification schemes in Lantaneae and to produce generic revisions (e.g. Silva, ; Salimena, ; Silva & Salimena, ; Santos, ; Sanders, , ; Siedo, ; O'Leary et al ., ; O'Leary & Múlgura, ). However, because Lantaneae are species‐rich, geographically widespread and recently radiated, these taxonomic efforts are hindered by the common problems that such a group presents.…”

Lantaneae are an example of a taxonomically problematic, widespread and recently radiated Neotropical lineage. Taxonomy in Lantaneae is difficult because of complex, overlapping patterns of shifts in morphological traits among members; monophyly of the traditional genera cannot be assumed without additional information from molecular data. We took a multi‐locus approach to infer phylogenetic relationships in Lantaneae, resolving major clades among a broad representative sample that covers the morphological, taxonomic and geographical diversity of this group. Data from multiple, independent loci reveal individual gene trees that are incongruent with one another, with varying degrees of support. Without reliable, applicable methods to determine the sources of such incongruence and to resolve it, we present the consensus between well‐supported topologies among our data sets as the best estimate of Lantaneae phylogeny to date. According to this consensus tree, fleshy fruits in Lantaneae have been derived from dry fruits at least five times; taxonomic schemes separating genera based on fruit characteristics are artificial. Lantaneae have shifted into the Neotropics from the southern temperate subtropics and have colonized Africa in at least two separate long‐distance dispersal events. This study provides a first pass at a broad Lantaneae phylogeny, but two important areas remain unresolved: the position of Acantholippia relative to Aloysia; and species‐level relationships in the Lantana–Lippia clade. © 2012 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2012, ●●, ●●–●●.

“…Previously, Begum et al (2014) reported that a methanolic extract obtained from the aerial parts of a Pakistani specimen of a red cultivar of L. camara exhibited activity against L. major promastigotes [ 41 ]. It is well known that L. camara (L.) is a worldwide shrub that displays a high phenotypic variability, manifested mainly in the color of its inflorescences, which can be white, yellow, orange, red, pink, violet, or mauve [ 28 , 43 , 44 , 45 ]. It was reported that different cultivars of L. camara show variations in their phytochemical profiles, which are associated with the color of their flowers [ 46 ] and their geographical distribution [ 47 ].…”

Lantana camara (L.) is employed by several ethnical groups to treat numerous diseases. Although there are no ethnomedical reports on its use against leishmaniasis, organic extracts prepared from L. camara were shown to display leishmanicidal activity. In the present study, we carried out a bioassay-guided fractionation of the dichloromethane extract from Mexican L. camara in order to identify the compounds responsible for the leishmanicidal activity. Eighteen chromatographic fractions (FI–FXVIII) were evaluated in vitro against Leishmania mexicana and L. amazonensis. FII, FX, FXI, FXV, and FXVI showed significant activity against both Leishmania strains, the most potent of which was FXV. Eicosane (1), squalene (2), β-ionone (3), caryophyllene oxide (4), β-caryophyllene (5), hexanoic acid (6), tiglic acid (7), a mixture of lantanilic (8) and camaric (9) acids, and lantadene B (10) were identified and obtained from the active fractions and evaluated for their leishmanicidal activity. The mixture of lantanilic (8) and camaric (9) acids (79%/21%) was the most potent one (half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) = 12.02 ± 0.36 μM). This study indicates that this cultivar of L. camara has high potential for the development of phytomedicines or as a source of natural products, which might represent lead compounds for the design of new drugs against leishmaniasis.

“…Further, ongoing hybridization events in the cryptic complex have blurred taxonomic distinctions of complex constituents and reduced classification accuracy (Sanders 2006, Maschinski et al 2010. Although the taxonomically uncertain complex has not been subjected to considerable progress till date; a few studies have attempted to reasonably explore the composition and nomenclature to classify the genus Lantana through well-devised keys (Munir 1996, Rajendran and Daniel 2002, Méndez Santos 2002, Sanders 2006, Sanders 2012.…”

Lantana camara L. (sensu lato): an enigmatic complex

Lantana camara L., considered among the world's worst invaders is in identity crisis and contentiously referred as Lantana camara L. (sensu lato). Taxonomic ambiguity in L. camara L. (sensu lato), a species complex is one of the grim caveats behind incompetence of its management efforts. Recognizing the extent of variability within the complex, we aim to highlight the need to circumscribe its composition to bring effective management and control efforts into practice. There is a need for clear terminology to examine weedy, naturalized and/or invasive complex constituents that have been placed under the contentious umbrella of 'L. camara L. (sensu lato)'. The time is ripe for invasion ecologists, cytogeneticists and conservationists to collaboratively focus on disentangling the complex and integrate their knowledge and expertise into management and control programs.
