| Description |
Common name: Canna Lily, Indian Shot, {Keli केली, Sarvajjaya सर्वज्जय} (Hindi), Laphoorit (Manipuri), Sarbajaya (Bengali), Kardal कर्दळ (Marathi), Kele Phool केंळें फुल (Konkani) Botanical name: Canna x generalis (syn. Canna x orchiodes) - [ (KAN-uh) derived from a Greek name for a type of reed; (x = Hybrid) (jen-er-RAY-liss) meaning prevailing or normal ] Family: Cannaceae (canna family) - [ (kan-AY-see-ay) the canna family ] Origin: Tropical America, Caribbean The plants are large tropical and subtropical perennial herbs with a rhizomatous rootstock. The broad, flat, alternate leaves, that are such a feature of this plant, grow out of a stem in a long narrow roll and then unfurl. The leaves are typically solid green but some cultivars have glaucose, brownish, maroon, or even variegated leaves. The three sepals and three petals are seldom noticed, they are small and hidden under extravagant stamens. What appear to be petals are the highly modified stamens or staminodes. The staminodes number (1-) 3 (-4) (with at least one staminodal member called the labellum, always being represented. A specialised staminode, the stamen, bears pollen from a half-anther. A somewhat narrower, 'petal' is the pistil which is connected down to a three-chambered ovary. The flowers are typically red, orange, or yellow or any combination of those colours, and are aggregated in inflorescences; in spikes, clusters, or in panicles (thyrses). Although gardeners enjoy these odd flowers, nature really intended them to attract pollinators collecting nectar, such as bees, hummingbirds and bats. The pollination mechanism is conspicuously specialized (pollen is shed on the style while still in the bud, and later pollinators alight on the labellum and touch first the terminal stigma, then the pollen).
