| Comments |
This is
the Tavoy form of Musa acuminata Colla, mentioned by Cheesman, Kew Bull.
1948, 27; Dodds & Simmonds, Heredity 2, 101-117 (1948); Simmonds, Journ. Genetics 51,
458-69 (1953) and Evolution, 8, 65-74 (1954).
It is distinguished by its yellowish and waxless foliage, light brown
markings on the pseudostem and by its compact pendulous bunch and strongly imbricate
purple bracts. It has been shown to be highly differentiated genetically from the
subsp. malaccensis (references above). |
