Photo of Lantana - horrida or camara?

How do you tell the difference between a Lantana horrida and Lantana camara? I know that the camara has a wide range of colors and that horrida is yellow/red. So then how do you tell a yellow/red camara from a horrida? I've spent hours searching the Internet and can't find a definitive answer. Even the photos in the DG Plant Files make the two plants look identical. Help! I have a red/yellow Lantana and before I give it to Josephine thinking it's a horrida, I need to be able to positively identify it. Are there any tips to make this ID easier?

I'm attaching a photo of one of my Lantanas. I bought it from Rohde's in Garland and it was labeled to be a Horrida. Is it? I'm so confused.
