Comments It would be fascinating if there were a new Musella in Vietnam but the evidence presented by Valmayor & Danh seems to me to be highly dubious.  Judge for yourself.

Originally published in The Philippine Agricultural Scientist Valmayor & Danh's paper is reprinted on pages 24 - 27 of InfoMusa 11 (2) which is available at:

My response to Valmayor & Danh is on pages 43 - 44 of InfoMusa 13 (1) which is available at:

http://www.inibap.org/publications/infomusa/INFO13.1-GB.pdf

The published response was considerably edited down so here is my response as originally intended.
