List of ''Canna'' species

Canna species have been categorised by two different taxonomists in the course of the last three decades. They are Paul Maas, from the Netherlands[1][2][3] and Nobuyuki Tanaka from Japan.[4] Both reduced the number of species from the 50-100 that had been accepted previously, and assigned most to being synonyms. Inevitably, there are some differences in their categorisations, and the individual articles on the species describes those differences.

The reduction in numbers is also confirmed by work done by Kress and Prince at the Smithsonian Institution, however, this only covers a subset of the species range.[5]

The Taxomic revision of the family Cannaceae in the New World and Asia, by Dr Tanaka.[4] is the latest authoritative reference, allied with the proposal to conserve the name Canna tuerckheimii over C. latifolia.[6] The most exhaustive work on Canna synonyms is that in the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families (WCSP).[7]

List of species

The following list is based on the Taxomic revision of the family Cannaceae in the New World and Asia, by Dr Tanaka[4] and the proposal to conserve the name Canna tuerckheimii over C. latifolia.[6][7]

Cultivar type names

In addition, several species have been given cultivar-type names, and those are listed below:
