马缨丹（学名：Lantana camara），别称五色梅、七色梅、五龙兰、如意草、五彩花、臭草、臭金凤、五雷丹、五色绣球、变色草等，客家人称之为绵鼻公花，。原本主要分布于南美洲、西印度，马缨丹属（Lantana）常绿灌木。一般花期大约是在4月中、下旬到隔年的2月中旬左右，不过也因气候与温度的影响，几乎整年都能看到开花，可说是常盛的植物。一丛花序之中常会有多色的变化，所以别名也称为五色梅、五彩花；同时枝叶含有特别的刺激气味，所以马缨丹也有臭草、臭金凤等别名。在**大约于1645 年由荷兰人引入，因繁殖力强，目前为**平地野外普遍可见的外来种。

Lantana camara, also known as big-sage (Malaysia), wild-sage, red-sage, white-sage (Caribbean) and tickberry (South Africa), is a species of flowering plant within the verbena family, Verbenaceae, that is native to the American tropics.

Lantana camara, a beautiful plant often planted in gardens, has spread from its native Central and South America to around 50 different countries, where it has become an invasive species. It spread from the Americas into the rest of the world when it was brought back to Europe by Dutch explorers and cultivated widely, soon spreading into Asia and Oceania, where it established itself as a notorious weed.
