This extremely rare new variety of was only found in one area at the lower Kinanbatangan River, Eastern part of Sabah. It is also considered that Musa pigmaea M.Hotta nom. nud. from East Kalimantan, Indonesia, might be the synonym or a closely related variety to the new variety" (from abstract Häkkinen et al 2005). Obviously if Musa pigmaea is synonymous with Musa beccarii var. hottana then the former has priority.
