Lantana camara, commonly known as lantana, is a perennial flowering shrub in the Verbenaceae family. Native to Central and South America, it has become widely naturalized across tropical and subtropical regions. The plant is recognized for its clusters of small, brightly colored flowers and aromatic leaves. Traditionally, various parts of Lantana camara—including leaves and flowers—have been used in folk medicine for their antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties.
