Climbing large tree
Approx 6 feet tall in understory
Fell from canopy onto trail
It's interesting to see this species thriving in the wild, in a tropical dry forest. It is a commonly seen ornamental plant in the Coachella Valley (Colorado Desert) in California. It blooms year round in the desert, when it's being watered, even when summer temperatures are 100F-120F.
Common Lantana (Lantana camara) Perennial flowering plant in the Verbena (Verbenaceae) family. Native to the American tropics. It grows erect or sprawling, up to 2 m (6.5ft) tall and grows in a variety of habitats. Stems are hairy with minute prickles that can cause rash on skin when handled. (I know this from firsthand experience.) Leaves are oblong to ovate with fine serrations. Flowers can be orange, pink, yellow, purple, or a combination of colors. The fruit is a berry-like drupe which turns from green to dark purple when mature. Green unripe fruits are inedible to humans and animals alike. Because of dense patches of hard spikes on their rind, ingestion of them can result in serious damage to the digestive tract.

Gumbo Limbo (Bursera simaruba) The gumbo-limbo tree is referred to, humorously, as the tourist tree because the tree's bark is red and peeling, like the skin of the sunburnt tourists who are a common sight in the plant's range.
Gumbo Limbo is sometimes planted to serve as wind protection of crops and roads, or as living fence posts. It can be simply stuck into good soil, small branches will readily root and grow into sizable trees in a few years. However, it has been noted in Central America that such posts do not produce a tap root, only side roots, thus questioning the real value of wind protection as those fence posts would not be so sturdy as a true, naturally occurring sapling.
