| Comments |
Hotta gives the correct name of this as Musa acuminata
subsp. malaccensis but although subsp. truncata exists so to speak as an
island in a sea of subsp. malaccensis it is now accepted as a distinct highland
form. Simmonds reduced M. truncata under Musa acuminata subsp. microcarpa
but that name is now applied only to a distinct population of plants from West
Malaysia (Borneo). |
