The lectotype was described from a cultivated plant raised from seeds collected in Ruanda by R. P. Durand ( Baker & Simmonds 1954). The two type sheets at BR are not cross-marked. Both are determined as Musa ruandensis by De Willdeman. This is E. edule ( Baker & Simmonds 1954) , i.e. E. ventricosum .
