I am not very sure about that so if I get any information about that I will share it with you. For now I think its Ok to call it Lantana montevidensis

I agree Namitha. Could this be a hybrid/cultivar of" Lantana montevidensis"?

But I have heard that the varieties that we see now are hybrid and not the original ones. What do you think about that. Lantana montevidensis maybe the original native species but the lantanas that are available in nurseries here in India are hybrid.

Hi Emma that is the exact species but when i searched I could not find it today. I
saw that when I searched for some other plants for my college weekly project [we put parts of plants of same family each week]. I remember seeing this species then but could not locate it today. Sorry about that.

I am sure it is lantana and its a hybrid variety used in gardens but I am not very sure of the species. Probably the subspecies name is different.
