Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum

Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from Modern Latin, adapted from the old plant name 'lantana' used by classical Latin writers for the wayfaring tree (Viburnum lantana), due to similarities in foliage and flower clusters. The genus name was formally established by Carl Linnaeus in 1753 to encompass these tropical and subtropical flowering shrubs.
