Comments	This is the form of Musa acuminata found in the Philippines. It was named Musa troglodytarum var. errans by Fr. Blanco in 1837 but following Brewbaker & Gorrez in 1956 it was associated with Musa acuminata subsp. banksii. More detailed studies revealed significant differences from subsp. banksii from Papua New Guinea and this led Allen to propose its reclassification as subsp. errans, reviving the name applied by Fr. Blanco. Allen's proposal has been formalised by Valmayor (2001). Images: There are images of Musa acuminata subsp. errans at http://musalit.inibap.org/pdf/IN010286_en.pdf
