It is established and expanding in many regions of the world, often as a result of clearing of forest for timber or agriculture. It impacts severely on agriculture as well as on natural ecosystems. The plants can grow individually in clumps or as dense thickets, crowding out more desirable species. In disturbed native forests it can become the dominant understorey species, disrupting succession and decreasing biodiversity. At some sites, infestations have been so persistent that they have completely stalled the regeneration of rainforest for three decades. Its allelopathic qualities can reduce vigour of nearby plant species and reduce productivity in orchards. Lantana camara has been the focus of biological control attempts for a century, yet still poses major problems in many regions. view this species on IUCN Red List.

Biological Control of Lantana, Prickly Pear, and Hamakua Pamakani Inhawah: a Review and Update
BIOLOGICAL CONTROL OF LANTANA, PRICKLY PEAR, AND HAMAKUA PAMAKANI INHAWAH: A REVIEW AND UPDATE Clifton J. Davis, Ernest Yoshioka, and Dina Kageler ABSTRACT The biological control of noxious weeds in Hawaiì has been carried on intermittently since 1902, when insects and diseases of lantana (Lantana camara) were sought in Mexico by the Territorial Board of Agriculture and Forestry (now Hawaiì Department of Agriculture). This approach was subsequently employed for the control of 20 other noxious weed pests between the 1940s and 1970s. Lantana was the first weed to be controlled by this method in the U.S. Results were very dramatic in some areas of the State, especially after later introductions by Hawaiìan and Australian entomologists resulted in heavy stress on lantana. In addition to lantana, excellent results have been obtained in the biological control of cacti (Opuntia spp.), and Hamakua pamakani (Ageratina riparia). Prior to the introduction of cactus insects in 1949, 66,000 a (26,400 ha) of Parker Ranch range lands on Hawaiì Island were infested with cacti. By 1965, 7,610 a (< 3,080 ha) remained infested, the result of three introduced insects and an accidentally introduced fungus disease; the red-fruited variety of cactus is particularly susceptible to the fungus. A spineless variety of the cactus occurs in the 'Ainahou-Poliokeawe Pali sector of Hawaiì Volcanoes National Park, and biocontrol efforts are in progress. With the introduction of insects from Mexico and a foliar fungus disease from Jamaica, Hamakua pamakani is under excellent control on many ranch as well as privately owned and government lands on Hawaiì Island.

INTRODUCTION The term "biodiversity hotspot" was coined by the British biologist Norman Myers in 1988. He described them as a biogeographic region by characterizing their exceptional levels of plant endemism and serious levels of habitat loss [1]. Further, in between 1989-1996, Conservation International (CI) adopted ‘Myers hotspots criteria’ and they made one organization for the reassessment of the hotspots concept and in 2005 they have published an revised title “Hotspots Revisited: Earth's Biologically Richest and Most Endangered Terrestrial Ecoregions” [2].

(Verbenaceae) Using Multiple Loci
bs_bs_banner Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2013, 171, 103–119. With 5 figures Investigating the evolution of Lantaneae (Verbenaceae) using multiple loci PATRICIA LU-IRVING* and RICHARD G. OLMSTEAD Department of Biology, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98195, USA Received 3 February 2012; revised 29 June 2012; accepted for publication 23 August 2012 Lantaneae are an example of a taxonomically problematic, widespread and recently radiated Neotropical lineage. Taxonomy in Lantaneae is difficult because of complex, overlapping patterns of shifts in morphological traits among members; monophyly of the traditional genera cannot be assumed without additional information from molecular data. We took a multi-locus approach to infer phylogenetic relationships in Lantaneae, resolving major clades among a broad representative sample that covers the morphological, taxonomic and geographical diversity of this group. Data from multiple, independent loci reveal individual gene trees that are incongruent with one another, with varying degrees of support. Without reliable, applicable methods to determine the sources of such incongru- ence and to resolve it, we present the consensus between well-supported topologies among our data sets as the best estimate of Lantaneae phylogeny to date. According to this consensus tree, fleshy fruits in Lantaneae have been derived from dry fruits at least five times; taxonomic schemes separating genera based on fruit characteristics are artificial. Lantaneae have shifted into the Neotropics from the southern temperate subtropics and have colonized Africa in at least two separate long-distance dispersal events. This study provides a first pass at a broad Lantaneae phylogeny, but two important areas remain unresolved: the position of Acantholippia relative to Aloysia; and species-level relationships in the Lantana–Lippia clade.

A Taxonomic Revision of Lantana Sect. Lantana (Verbenaceae) in the Greater Antilles
Willdenowia 32 – 2002 285 ISIDRO E. MÉNDEZ SANTOS A taxonomic revision of Lantana sect. Lantana (Verbenaceae) in the Greater Antilles Abstract Méndez Santos, I. E.: A taxonomic revision of Lantana sect. Lantana (Verbenaceae) in the Greater Antilles. – Willdenowia 32: 285-301. 2002. – ISSN 0511-9618. The revision of Lantana sect. Lantana for the projects “Flora of the Republic of Cuba” and “Flora of the Greater Antilles” confirmed the presence of 10 species and 16 infraspecific taxa in the territory. Their diagnostic characters are specified, two new forms are described (L. camara f. caffertyi and L. flava f. sandersii), the rank of three taxa is modified, and eight new combinations are established. Introduction Lantana L. (Verbenaceae) comprises about 270 species and subspecific taxa, mostly native to tropical and subtropical America, many of which are broadly distributed all over the world as ornamentals or aggressive weeds of disturbed areas (Moldenke & Moldenke 1983). The study of this genus is complicated by the high number of described species, the wide anthropogenic distri- bution of several of them, the mixture of wild and subspontaneous or naturalised plants, as well as the pronounced variability in morphology, flower colour, etc. According to López-Palacios (1991) “... this complicated genus has made breaking their head to all who have worked with Verbenaceae, from Schauer to Moldenke ...”. The infrageneric system followed by Schauer (1847) and Briquet (1895, 1904) recognised five sections, among which Lantana sect. Lantana is regarded as seemingly monophyletic (Sanders 1987b) and characterised as follows: drupes black when mature, with but a single pyrene, two fertile and two sterile locules, and fistulose peduncles.

Barrowhill, Otterpool and East Stour River)
Folkestone and Hythe Birds Tetrad Guide: TR13 D (Barrowhill, Otterpool and East Stour River) The tetrad TR13 D is an area of mostly farmland with several small waterways, of which the East Stour River is the most significant, and there are four small lakes (though none are publically-accessible), the most northerly of which is mostly covered with Phragmites. Other features of interest include a belt of trees running across the northern limit of Lympne Old Airfield (in the extreme south edge of the tetrad), part of Harringe Brooks Wood (which has no public access), the disused (Otterpool) quarry workings and the westernmost extent of Folkestone Racecourse and. The northern half of the tetrad is crossed by the major transport links of the M20 and the railway, whilst the old Ashford Road (A20), runs more or less diagonally across. Looking south-west towards Burnbrae from the railway Whilst there are no sites of particular ornithological significance within the area it is not without interest. A variety of farmland birds breed, including Kestrel, Stock Dove, Sky Lark, Chiffchaff, Blackcap, Lesser Whitethroat, Yellowhammer, and possibly Buzzard, Yellow Wagtail and Meadow Pipit. Two rapidly declining species, Turtle Dove and Spotted Flycatcher, also probably bred during the 2007-11 Bird Atlas. The Phragmites at the most northerly lake support breeding Reed Warbler and Reed Bunting. In winter Fieldfare and Redwing may be found in the fields, whilst the streams have attracted Little Egret, Snipe and, Grey Wagtail, with Siskin and occasionally Lesser Redpoll in the alders along the East Stour River. Corn Bunting may be present if winter stubble is left and Red Kite, Peregrine, Merlin and Waxwing have also occurred.

VERBENACEAE by Pedro Acevedo-Rodríguez (Jul 2020)
GUIDE TO THE GENERA OF LIANAS AND CLIMBING PLANTS IN THE NEOTROPICS VERBENACEAE By Pedro Acevedo-Rodríguez (Jul 2020) A pantropical family extending to warm temperate regions, of shrubs, trees, lianas and less often herbs, commonly aromatic; with 33 genera and about 910 species. Twining lianas are restricted to Petrea, while scrambling lianas or subshrubs are found in Citharexylum, Duranta, and Lantana. Verbenaceae are represented in the Neotropics by 24 genera and about 710 species, of which only 22 species are consistently reported as lianas or climbing plants, most of which belong to the genus Petrea. Diagnostics: Leaves opposite (sometimes aromatic), simple, exstipulate; stems commonly quadrangular; corolla gamopetalous; Citharexylum may be confused with Aegiphila (Lamiaceae) but it is distinguished by the racemose inflorescence (vs a cyme or glomerule). Sterile Petrea may Petrea sp., photo by P. Acevedo be confused with sterile Aegiphila and may be confused with members of Malpighiaceae, but leaves are devoid of glands, and indument not T-shaped. General Characters 1. STEMS. Of all neotropical climbing Verbenaceae, only Citharexylum and Petrea produce stems with substantial secondary growth. Young stems are often quadrangular, but becoming cylindrical, reaching 3-10 m in length and up to 8 cm in diameter; cross sections in Citharexylum and Petrea are regular, often with a square medulla, a cylindrical vascular cylinder traversed by numerous conspicuous, narrow rays (fig. 1a, b & d); vessels are narrow (fig. 1a-d); climbing species of Lantana have deeply fluted stems (fig. 1c). 2. EXUDATES. Exudates are inconspicuous in all genera. 3. CLIMBING MECHANISM. Lianas and vines in this family are either scramblers or twiners, and commonly have short lateral plagiotropic or hanging branches.

The Exceptional Lantana Lace Bug, Teleonemia Scrupulosa
486 Session 9 Post-release Evaluation and Management The Exceptional Lantana Lace Bug, Teleonemia scrupulosa M. T. Johnson USDA Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Research Station, Institute of Pacific Islands Forestry, Volcano, HI USA [email protected] Abstract The lantana lace bug, Teleonemia scrupulosa Stål (Hemiptera: Tingidae), was introduced to Hawaii for biological control of lantana, Lantana camara L. (Verbenaceae), in 1902 and again in 1954. Among 43 cases of non-target native plants used as hosts by weed biological control agents in the US and Caribbean in the past century, all appear predictable with the exception of this lace bug. In Hawaii, T. scrupulosa is known to develop on one variety of naio, Myoporum sandwicense (A. DC.) A. Gray (Myoporaceae), a very distant relative recently placed in the same order as lantana, Lamiales. Biological control efforts using T. scrupulosa proliferated around the world following its first use in Hawaii. A few additional instances of non-target host use by this lace bug suggest that its host range may be disjunct but broad within Lamiales, extending to sesame, Sesamum orientale L. (Pedaliaceae) and teak, Tectona grandis L. f. (Lamiaceae). The possibility of genetic shifts in host specificity among Hawaiian populations of T. scrupulosa was investigated in retrospective greenhouse tests. Ovipositional host specificity did not vary among populations, but was consistently disjunct, suggesting a genetic pre-adaptation for selecting a specific subspecies of M. sandwicense as a host. However, adaptation for development on M. sandwicense also appears to have occurred in the population collected from this plant. Additional studies are needed to determine the basis for host specificity in this insect and whether new protocols for host range evaluation may improve our powers to predict such non-target interactions.
