Comments |
This was one of a number of African Musa
transferrred to Ensete by Cheesman in his 1947 paper reviving the genus Ensete.
It was later reduced to a synonym of Ensete ventricosum by Baker & Simmonds
1953 as corrected (please see link above). It is now recognised that there are no
wild Musa native to Africa, only Ensete. Type: J. Gillet, s.n. Kisantu, D. R. Congo, 1923
(evidently cultivated here from seed from Rwanda collected by Durand) ; in Herbarium
at Brussels. |
