List of Canna species Totally Explained

Everything about List Of Canna Species totally explained

Canna species have been categorised by two different taxonomists in the course of the last three decades. They are Paul Maas, from the Netherlands and Nobuyuki Tanaka from Japan. 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.

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., and the inclusion of C. variegatifolia Ciciar, which was identified in 1995, and which Dr Tanaka doesn't mention in his revision. The latter is recognised in the Kew Gardens checklist, which closely follows Dr Tanakas revision.

Canna amabilis T. Koyama & Nb. Tanaka
Canna discolor var. rubripunctata Nb.Tanaka
Canna indica var. flava (Roscoe ex Baker) Nb. Tanaka
   The problem then became one of identifying the specimens. The capitals and places of learning in the major countries of the world all had botanical gardens and private nurseries and collectors, all intent on discovering and naming new species.
   Initially the early taxonomists only had the written word with which to communicate and letters, written in Latin, might take weeks to complete their journeys. Black and white photography eased the communication difficulty and the invention of the telephone and colour photography, and more recently the world wide web have meant that places of learning can now communicate freely and much of the duplication of names has been resolved.
   The list below shows the extent of the duplication in naming that has occurred in the past, and follows the Kew Gardens Canna checklist.
