[edit]

Please cite source that claims the Swamp Wallaby eats Lantana without becoming ill or dying.

I find no official source of evidence that Swamp Wallabies can eat Lantana safely. A few web sites say the Swamp Wallabies live in the shelter provided by the Lantana, but their leaves are toxic, and "The Complete Guide to the Care of Macropods" By Lynda Staker says Lantana is "toxic to all animals" and that red kangaroos who ate lantana died of photosensitivity and liver damage. Staker references an article that appeared in the Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine "Hepatotoxicity and Secondary Photosensitization in a Red Kangaroo (Megaleia rufus) Due to Ingestion of Lantana camara" by Johnson & Jensen. :Please cite reputable source. :Thanks. 18 Feb 2015 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.2.21.18 (talk) 03:27, 19 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

How do I get rid of this horrible plant?

Grub it out if you don't have too much. Dig out all the surface roots and burn them. If you have acres of it, push it over with a tractor and poison the new growth. Your local council can tell you the best poison for your area, but you need to spray when it is growing strongly. Rumiton (talk) 13:44, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

New Stuff Tonight

[edit]
Where to start...
  • Archived page (uniquely).
  • Researched a bit, creating page Lantana/resources.
  • Got tired.
  • Gave up for the night.
That was fun... VigilancePrime (talk) 10:36, 17 February 2008 (UTC) :-)[reply]

Alleopathy

[edit]

Is Lantana allelopathic? I recall that when we had a few bushes of it in our yard in San Diego, California that no grass grew underneath it; the dirt was quite clean and bare. If so, a link to the allelopathy article would be in order. – Wdfarmer (talk) 18:42, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it is, though the dropped leaves are very acidic, rather like pine needles. Rumiton (talk) 13:53, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Photo caption

[edit]

Sixth photo in Gallery: "A moth drinks from an umbel of a lantana plant." I believe the creature is misidentified. It doesn't look like a moth. It looks like a skipper. Cognita (talk) 04:43, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lantana indica Roxb.

[edit]

Lantana indica Roxb. is a native plant found in mid-altitudes (800 - 1500 metres ASL) of India. The bracts are larger and conspicuous covering 3/4th of the fruit. The leaves are less-scrabrous when compared to Lantana camara. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sam nmk (talkcontribs) 07:51, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
