Comments	Valmayor et al (p.14) state that "Teodoro and Quisumbing [] applied the term[] [] Musa errans var. botoan Toedoro for butuhan.  Brewbaker and Gorrez (1956) who consulted with Cheesman, reclassified butuhan as Musa balbisiana Colla."  See also discussion at M. errans. The World Checklist of Monocotyledons gives Musa errans var. botoan N.G.Teodoro, Philipp. J. Sci., C 10: 391 (1915) as a synonym of Musa acuminata subsp. errans (Blanco) R.V.Valmayor, Philipp. Agric. Sci. 84: 328 (2001) which is listed as the accepted name. The entry at WCM is not correct.
