La canna comune (Arundo donax) o canna domestica è una pianta erbacea perenne e dal fusto lungo, cavo e robusto, che cresce in terreni anche relativamente poveri. La sua area di origine si estende dal bacino del Mediterraneo al Medio Oriente fino all’India, ma attualmente la canna si può trovare sia piantata che naturalizzata nelle regioni temperate e subtropicali di entrambi gli emisferi. Forma dense macchie in terreni umidi di ambiente ripariale, lungo gli argini di fiumi e stagni ma anche sui margini di campi coltivati e sulle dune sabbiose, anche vicino al mare.
