Comments |
Cheesman
created Ensete ulugurense as a new combination (number 17 out of 25) in a brief
note in his 1947 paper reviving the genus Ensete. Cheesman revived one and
created 24 new Ensete species in that paper but acknowledged that field study
might reveal synonymy. Baker and Simmonds' 1953 review of the genus Ensete
in Africa radically reduced the number of species either reducing or rejecting most of
Cheesman's African Ensete. Baker
and Simmonds' original paper reduced Ensete ulugurense to a synonym of Ensete
edule. However, when it was noticed that, via Musa ventricosa,
Ensete ventricosum took priority over Ensete edule by three years a
substantial correction appeared in the following issue of Kew Bulletin that reduced Ensete
ulugurense to a synonym of Ensete ventricosum (please see link above).
Type: probably Berlin (+). |
