This is a banana cultivar described from the Belgian Congo. According to the diagnosis and figure it is seedless, and thus it must be treated as a banana cultivar. Seeds are not mentioned in the diagnosis either in the case concerning its varieties. Var. decrescens was not diagnosed nor drawn, so the illustration of var. pembuki is designated as a lectotype.
