Summary[edit]

Description

Common name: Canna Lily, Indian Shot, {Keli केली, Sarvajjaya सर्वज्जय} (Hindi), Laphoorit (Manipuri), Sarbajaya (Bengali), Kardali कर्दळी (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

In the early 1900's, Professor Liberty Hyde Bailey defined, in detail, two garden species (C. x generalis and C. x orchiodes) to categorise the floriferous Cannas being grown at that time, namely the Crozy hybrids and the 'orchid-like' hybrids introduced by Carl Ludwig Sprenger in Italy and Luther Burbank in the USA, at about the same time (1894). The definition was based on the genotype, rather than the phenotype, of the two cultivar groups.

Inevitably, over time those two floriferous groups were interbred, the distinctions became blurred and overlapped, and the Bailey species names became redundant. Pseudo-species names are now deprecated by the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants which, instead, provides Cultivar Groups for categorising cultivars.
