Photo of Lantana - horrida or camara?

Well Carla, maybe this will help, one of the things that I have noticed is that Lantana horrida has coarser leaves than camara, and also horrida has a much stronger smell when you crush a leaf.
There is a lot od color variation in lantanas so that some horridas will have more orange or more yellow in their flowers.
With camara there is a big range of colors although the pink and yellow is the most common. So I would say you might recognize it by the coarseness and the strong smell.
Here is a picture of lantana horida growing wild at Pappy Elkins Park.
