  • APC Comment: Varietal rank not used in this species in NT, Qld, NSW, LHI, NI. The taxonomy of the Lantana camara s.l. group presented here is a conservative approach, following A.A.Munir, J. Adelaide Bot. Gard. 17: 1-27 (1996). However R.W.Sanders (pers. comm. 2007), indicates that the situation is likely to be far more complex, and that a number of taxa are involved. R.W.Sanders, Sida 22: 381-421 (2007), elucidates the taxonomy and nomenclature of part of the complex but does not explicitly state which taxa are naturalised in Australia.
