Méndez (2001) recognized 6 formae of C. spinosum in the Caribbean Islands. Populations along the east coast of Florida generally align with forma spinosum, with some plants conforming to forma subvillosum in the south (Miami-Dade Co.), and some plants in the Keys conforming to forma villosum.

Hiern (1877) was apparently the one to establish Duranta erecta as the accepted name and D. repens as its subsumed synonym (see Munir 1995). Sanders (2001) mentioned the possibility of it being native to south Florida and also as an escape from early cultivation. Others have treated it as native (e.g. Arnold 1937). Among early collections, there is a cultivated specimen from Columbia Co. in 1904 (FLAS). Substantiative evidence of extant native populations is wanting. Sanders (2001) stated it was naturalized in Texas and California.

This taxon is endemic to pine rocklands of Miami-Dade Co. and the record in Calhoun is undoubtedly an introduction. A hybrid of this and L. strigocamara has been made and referred to as 'Callowiana' (Sanders 2001; Hammer 2004).

Widely planted and naturalized, L. strigocamara has apparently introgressed and hybridized with many entities including those of L. depressa in Florida (Sanders 2012). Lantana camara s.str. is considered native to the Neotropics and naturalized elsewhere, but not currently known in Florida (Sanders 2006, 2012). A review of low-level exposures to Lantana in California indicated mild toxicity (Carstairs et al. 2010). Ingestion of the plant has caused poisonings and fatalities in livestock (Fourie 1987; Sharma et al. 2007). The plant contains lantadenes (terpenoids). The extensive synonymy list below is for the concept of L. camara s.lat.
