Comments Baker comments on this under Musa cavendishii [= Musa (AAA group) 'Dwarf Cavendish'] and writes " M. Massoni, Sagot Musa 21 (name only), supposed to be wild at the Gaboon and cultivated in Bourbon, is said to be like Cavendishii, but with slightly different fruits".  I am not sure to which  of Sagot's publications Baker is referring; it is not Sagot 1887.
