Introduction to Five-color Plum

Lantana 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.
