Appearance and leaves

In Lantana TYPES There are mostly woody plants as shrubs or vines ; rarely grow around small trees or herbaceous plants . The aromatic plants are finely hairy or glabrous. The shoot axes, which are square in youth, are rough or sometimes slightly prickly.

The opposite , sometimes three to four whorled leaves are divided into a petiole and a leaf blade. The always simple leaf blades are very wrinkled in most species. The leaf margin is often notched.

Inflorescences, flowers and fruits

On inflorescence shafts there are often many flowers together in dense, head-shaped inflorescences , with the individual flowers having a short stalk at most and the oval to lanceolate bract protruding over the sepals.

The hermaphrodite flowers are four or five-fold with a double flower envelope . The relatively small, membranous sepals are short. The colors of the petals include almost everything: white, yellow, red, blue and purple; some species also have two-tone crowns. Often the corolla changes color in the course of the anthesis , in some species several times. The four or five petals are fused into a narrow corolla tube. The corollas are almost radially symmetrical or slightly two-lipped with four or five extended corolla lobes. There is only one circle with four free, fertile stamens , they are inserted on the approximately middle of the corolla tube and do not protrude beyond the corolla. The ovary is bicameral. There is only one ovule per ovary chamber . The stylus does not protrude from the corolla tube and ends in a crooked, almost head-shaped scar.

The fleshy stone fruits contain a stone core with one to two seeds. The drupes turn red, purple to metallic black when ripe.

ecology

The diaspores are spread by birds .
