“…Thus, the first aim of this study was to evaluate the essential oil of two endemic Lantana species from the salt marsh Atlantic forest landscape in Brazil (Lantana lucida Schauer and Lantana salzmannii Schauer). The second was to characterize the intraspecific variation of the essential oil composition in natural populations of those Lantana species, as well as 13 Lantana species published in the literature (Lantana achyranthifolia (Hernandes et al, 2005), Lantana aculeate (Saxena and Sharma, 1999), Lantana balansae (De Viana et al, 1973), Lantana camara (Rana et al, 2005), Lantana canescens (Sena Filho et al, 2010), Lantana hirta (Walden et al, 2009), Lantana involucrate (Pino et al, 2006), Lantana fucata (De Oliveira et al, 2008), Lantana radula (Sena Filho et al, 2010), Lantana salviifolia (Ouamba et al, 2006), Lantana trifolia (Juliao et al, 2009), Lantana velutina (Walden et al, 2009) and Lantana xenica (Juliani et al, 2002)) using the Weighted Pair Grouping Method (WPGM). The third was to cluster the 15 Lantana species based on their (E)-caryophyllene concentration.…”
