canna

Banana-leafed ornamental

Canna is a tropical plant with large, ornamental leaves and brightly colored flowers, often grown in gardens for dramatic effect.

The rhizomes of some species yield a starch used in cooking.

Canna also appears as an informal spelling of "can of" or, in cannabis culture, as slang for marijuana: Got any canna?
