  • Abstract : Considerable taxonomic confusion surrounds some obviously similar taxa of the genus Musa (Musaceae): M. coccinea, M. fehi, M. seemannii, M. uranoscopos (of various authors), and M. troglodytarum. All these names have been used extensively in Musa literature. All the taxa share an erect or curved inflorescence.
