Rhizomes fleshy. Leaves: sheath and blade glaucous; blade narrowly ovate to narrowly elliptic, 20–50 × 8–12 cm, base gradually narrowed into sheath, apex acute.

Flowers pure yellow, 10–15 cm; pedicels short, to 0.5 cm; sepals narrowly oblong-elliptic, 2.5–3.5 × 0.4–0.6 cm; petals strongly reflexed, 10–12 cm, tube ca. 4 cm, lobes narrowly oblong-elliptic, 6–8 cm × 4–13 mm, base sharply reflexed; staminodes 3, broadly ovate, 9–11 × 8–9 cm; labellum not obviously reflexed, broadly ovate, ca. 10 × 8–9 cm.

Discussion
Canna flaccida was reported from Texas (D. S. Correll and M. C. Johnston 1970), but no specimens have been seen to verify. Although no specimens have been seen from the area between the Louisiana site and the Alabama site, Canna flaccida is to be expected there.
