181. Musa sapientum View in CoL L. var. mensaria Baker

Annals of Botany (Oxford) 7: 212 (1893).

REMARKS

The basionym is M. mensaria Rumph. in Herbarium Amboinense ( Rumphius 1747: 131). The herbarium and types of Rumphius were almost completely destroyed in a fire ( Stafleu & Cowan 1983). Since the name is not supported by an illustration, and we were not able to interpret the diagnosis, the name remains dubious. The name has not been used by botanists. As a variety of M. sapientum the name is considered to belong to a banana cultivar.
