I would have conveniently passed this off (and may have in my database) as Lantana indica, and as I went through the attached manuscript learnt a few things.
*Lippia*: Spreading shrubs, hairs simple. *spikes elongate, *style sublateral*, fruit wall thin, corolla tube much protruding* *Lanatana*: Spreading Shrubs, hairs simple, Spikes dense, style sublateral, *fruit wall fleshy, corolla tube not protruding * * much* *Phyla*: *Prostrate herbs*, *hairs medifixed, *spikes dense, *style terminal *, fruit wall thin, *corolla tube not protruding * * much.* * * *Lippia alba* (Mill.) N. E. Br. and* L. javanica *are two different species though often confused, especially our Bengal specimens. *Lippia gemminata* Kunth is a synonym of *L. alba* * * Material of *Lippia alba* is often confused with *Lantana indica*, and can be conclusively differentiated on the basis of fruit being fleshy in *Lantana indica* and dry in *Lippia alba. * Yet to find differences between L. alba and L. javanica. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
