Introduction to Five-color PlumLantana camara (scientific name: Lantana camara) is the same as Lantana camara, and the Hakka people call it Mianbi Gonghua. Lantana is an evergreen shrub originally distributed mainly in South America and West India. The general flowering period is around mid-to-late April to mid-February of the following year, but due to the influence of climate and temperature, flowers can be seen almost all year round, making it an evergreen plant. There are often multiple colors in a cluster of inflorescences, so it is also called five-color plum and five-color flower; at the same time, the branches and leaves have a special pungent smell, so Lantana also has aliases such as stinking grass and stinking golden phoenix. It was introduced to Taiwan by the Dutch around 1645. Due to its strong reproductive capacity, it is now a common alien species in the wild on Taiwan's plains. There are many aliases for the five-color plum, including Lantana camara, Lantana camara, big red hydrangea, coral ball (Nanyue Notes), stinking golden phoenix, Ruyi flower, dusk flower (Lingnan Herbal Collection Records), seven-change flower (North China Economic Flora), Ruyi grass (Guangzhou Flora), safflower, stinking peony, insecticidal flower (Nanning City Pharmacopoeia), Maoshen flower (Southern Fujian Folk Herbs), stinking cold wind (Guangxi Chinese Herbs), sky orchid grass (Hunan Pharmacopoeia), stinky grass (Guangzhou Army Commonly Used Chinese Herbal Medicine Handbook), five-color flower, five thunder arrow, wall-penetrating wind (Guangxi Chinese Herbs), wild eye vegetable (Jiangxi Herbal Medicine Handbook), five-color flower, red flower thorn, sister flower (Fujian Chinese Herbs), and pig shit flower (Chaozhou). Introduction to Five-Colored FlowerIt refers to the early overglaze multicolored paint using lead-containing red, green, yellow, blue, purple and other color materials, hence the name. During the Yuan Dynasty, it was fired on the basis of the red, yellow and green tri-color of Cizhou Kiln, and the products were very rare. Small green leaves, small red leaves, large flowers and small black leaves are all five-color flowers. Often used in patterned flower beds. Five-Colored Flower is also the name of a song. But when searching for the five-color flower of the plant, the one that appears is the five-color plum. |
