I'm wondering if anyone can identify whether it's a C. indica or some 
other Canna.

We are in Bowen, Queensland, Australia, and we've been growing them from 
seeds collected from the Canna that grew after we started tending the 
garden.

Splitting the seed with a hammer reveals a black shell about the 
thickness of three 80gsm sheets of paper, then a hard white substance 
with a hole on one end, surrounding the about 1/16" diameter plant germ, 
which grows out of the aforementioned hole.
