Lantana horrida is a species of flowering plant in the verbena family. It is found in Mexico and the West Indies to subtropical South America. It lives in a variety of habitats, including tropical savanna, forest, montane, shrubland, and grassland.[3]
Taxonomy[edit]
Lantana horrida was first described in 1818 by Karl Sigismund Kunth.[4] Lantana horrida Kunth is sometimes confused with Lantana urticoides as the latter has several synonyms previously described as forms of Lantana horrida.[5][6] While Lantana urticoides ranges into Texas and New Mexico, Lantana horrida has not been documented north of Mexico.[1][6]
