According
to Stover & Simmonds 1987, Musa aiori was applied by P. A. Sagot to a
group of "wild" or occasionally cultivated plants grown for fruit in the Society
Islands. The clones probably originated by hybridisation of a range of species possibly
including Musa maclayi, Musa jackeyi, Musa angustigemma, Musa peekelii and possibly
others as yet undescribed. Stover & Simmonds caution that the Fe'i bananas are so
poorly understood that the use of Latin binomials is "unwise". |
