Musa
abaca is sometimes given as a synonym of Musa textilis L. Née but it was
too poorly described by Samuel Perrottet for a positive identification to be made.
According to Cheesman it was "most probably either M.
textilis, M. balbisiana or a hybrid [between the two] and whichever it was the binomial can have no nomenclatural significance". |
