| Comments |
Rumphius'
"tame pisang" according to Kurz.
Champion lists this as "M. sativa seu domestica" meaning "Musa
sativa or Musa domestica". Rumphius was a pre-Linnean author and
lacking the dogmatism of his illustrious successor he was giving us a choice here, we
could either call this plant Musa sativa OR we could call it Musa domestica,
it was all the same to Rumphius. |
