La`au Kanalima Kumama`iwa....59th Plant
Lantana, Lakana
Lantana camara
Lantana proves itself as one of Hawaii's most aggressive introduced
weeds. Native to Tropical America, and in the Verbena family,
Lantana can be seen in moist to dry areas across low to mid elevation
Hawaii. Several species in the genus are cultivated for their bright
colors. The potent fragrance of Lantana leaves remains one of its most
obvious identifying factors.
