NAMES PUBLISHED BY FRANCISCO MANUEL BLANCO IN 1837

Blanco (1837) provided 17 banana names as varieties of Musa × paradisiaca L., which probably represent

“cultivars” with perhaps taxonomic significance

considering banana cultivars. The names are only

listed here with synonyms.Mostly nothing is known

about the herbarium and types of Blanco, some

specimens are at MA and FI ( Stafleu & Cowan

1976). As there is no original material, the mean-

ing of the names remains unresolved. As varieties

of M. × paradisiaca the names should be interpreted

as cultivars.

NAMES PUBLISHED BY PAUL HUBERT IN 1907

The five names by Hubert (1907) concern cultivated bananas “bananiers à fruits comestibles”, and the descriptions are either lacking completely or are mostly poor. No collection information was given.

When there is no description, the names are invalid ( McNeill et al. 2006: Art 36.1), as when the diagnosis refers to edibility ( McNeill et al. 2006: Art. 32.3.). Thus the names are only listed.

Musa aiori Hubert, Le Bananier : 12 (1907).

Musa sariboe Hubert, Le Bananier : 12 (1907). A banana cultivated at Java ( Hubert 1907: 12).

Musa harmandii Hubert, Le Bananier : 14 (1907). A banana cultivated at Tahiti ( Hubert 1907: 33).

Musa pierrei Hubert, Le Bananier : 14 (1907). A cultivated banana in eastern Polynesian islands ( Hubert 1907: 32).

Musa raoulii Hubert, Le Bananier : 20 (1907). A banana with non-edible fruits of Ethiopia ( Ensete ) ( Hubert 1907: 20).

VARIETAL NAMES PUBLISHED

BY JUSTIN GILLET IN 1909

Gillet (1909) described 19 varietes of Musa paradisiaca L., seven varietes of M. paradisiaca rumphiana [rankless] Kurz, and two varietes of M. sapientum L., altogether 28 new names. These are only listed here, as the names are illegitimate, since there are no descriptions ( McNeill et al. 2006: Art. 32.1). The diagnoses merely refer to ornamental value, and
