Canna x generalis L.H.Bailey

PLANTS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, U.S.A.
CANNA GLAUCA L.
Cannaceae
RICHLAND COUNTY: Foliage mostly glabrous, deep green, not
glaucous, although plants are more glaucous toward and within
inflorescence; foliage commonly susceptible to leaf rollers by end
of season; sepals dull, pale greenish, erect; petals pale yellow,
prominently erect, approximately equal, about Vi (or slightly less)
the length of 4 (always?) staminodes, which are deep, bright yellow,
the most distal one heavily speckled with red; lamina of fertile
stamen also speckled, but more finely; flowers at mid-afternoon
without appreciable scent; grown in garden for nearly 30 years, and
somewhat weedy; I remember planting rhizomes of C. “flaccida”
from Jasper County in the early 1980s into this garden, now I am
doubtful; backyard of residence, 3801 Duncan Street, Columbia.
