56 Heft. Cannace* by Fr. Ej-anzlin. There is no reference 

 to any Ceylon specimens. The name Canna indica L. is 

 reserved for an American species. With regard to tliis name, 

 the author writes that it is frequently cited, especially in 

 Floras of Tropical Colonies, sometimes correctly but more 

 often incorrectly. Elsewhere he remarks that Canna indica 

 appears to have been considered an inevitable constituent 

 of every colonial flora. The Ceylon species would appear to 

 be Canna orientalis Rose, as stated in Trimen's Flora, 

 IV., p. 265.
