Significant variations in chromosome morphology have been noted in eight varietal populations of Lantana camara L. and Lantana sellowiana, L. lilacina collected from different eco-habitats of India. These populations of Lantana also exhibit the existence of a polyploid series. Pentaploid L. camara L. adapt well at high altitude and temperate climate; while the diploid forms occur in plains. The evolution of this taxon has been discussed in the light of cytological findings.
