Takenosin Nakai says of this in his idiosyncratic English,
"this was brought back from East Java by Dr. Backer as Pisang
batu, and only one stock is in the section XXIII A of Buitenzorg Botanical Garden.
It is a tall slender plantain with narrow leaves. During my sojourn in
Buitenzorg it flowered only once but I could not see the fruits." 'Pisang batu' (stone
banana) is normally a Malay name for seeded Musa balbisiana but is sometimes
applied to ABB group bananas which look similar to M. balbisiana. |
