I think you are right Garg ji. This may be a white cultivar of Lantana camara. Its leaves are pointed or blunt, similar to Lantana camara, and not rounded like *Lantana involucrata.* This was photographed in cultivation, so no question of it being wild at all. Thanks for this important correction. Best wishes Tabish ------------------------------------------- <http://www.flowersofindia.net>www.flowersofindia.net The waterhole of flower lovers
