Fruit dry, separating into 2 1-seeded pyrenes. Otherwise as Lantuna.— 
Pecies 90, mostly American. 
The genus Lippia can hardly be distinguished from Lantana, but the present 
Species » easily recognized by m creeping habit and alternate peduncles. Rheede 
Hort. Mal. x. t. 93, sometimes quoted for this plant, has large bracts to the heads, 
Dor does it represent the creeping habit. Roxburgh, by some slip, has omitted the 
genus Verbena in F]. Ind., though he has it in Hort.. Beng.
