The Weft-India Ifles and the warmer parts of the continent 
of South-America contain many fpecies of Lantana, moft of 
Which grow into fhrubs of confiderable height ; this is an an- 
‘Dual plant, but with an almoft woody ftem. The flowers are 
of a pale lilac colour with a yellow throat and not changeable, 
as thofe of Lantana aculeata, No. 96, and feveral others are ; 
the fpikes, which are at firft hemifpherical, become afterwards 
oblong. Introduced before 1733, by Dr. Wm. Houston, 
a8 appears by Mrxxezr’s fpecimen preferved in the Bankfian 
terbarium. Being an annual and not very readily producing 
"pe feeds in this country, it was probably of fhort duration ; 
and we find no further trace of it, till feeds were brought from 
pain, with many other curious plants, by Lord Hotzanp, 
Tom whofe colleGion at Holland-Houfe our drawing was 
taken in Auguft laft. We believe it has never before been 
Sured, Propagated by feeds only.
