Description:

Lantana camara, also known as Spanish Flag or West Indian Lantana, is a species of flowering plant in the verbena family, Verbenaceae, that is native to the American tropics. It has been introduced into other parts of the world as an ornamental plant and is considered an invasive species in many tropical and sub-tropical areas. L. camara is sometimes known as 'Red (Yellow, Wild) Sage', despite its classification in a separate family from sage (Lamiaceae), and a different order from sagebrush (Asterales).
