Notice

Colin Mills, compiler of the Hortus Camdenensis, died in late November 2012 after a short illness. As he always considered the Hortus his legacy, it is his family's intention to keep the site running in perpetuity. It will not, however, be updated in the near future.

Duranta erecta L. var. Mexicana

Probably a variety of Duranta erecta L. of which there are several although I have found no specific reference to Mexicana.
