Musa simiarum

Musa simiarum
G. E. Rumphius, Herbarium Amboinense 5: 125 et t. 61 fig. 1 (1750.).

Accepted name Musa acuminata L. A. Colla
Synonyms  
Authorities The accepted name is according to Cheesman 1948b.
Section Eumusa
Distribution India.
Description  
References Cheesman 1948b : 12 & 19, 20, 22, Kurz 1877 : 139, Mobot Tropicos, Sagot 1887 : 329.
Comments Mobot Tropicos give the name as Musa simiarum Kurz and cite a reference in J. Agr. Hort. Soc. Ind. 14: 297 (1867), Cheesman 1947b, also mentions this reference.  I have not yet checked this.  It may be that Mobot disregard Rumphius because he is pre-Linnean and thus cite Kurz as the first post-Linnean author of the name.
