REMARKS

Herbarium and types by RottbØll are at C, LINN, LIV, NY and PH ( Stafleu & Cowan 1983), but this type specimen could not be located. The protologue is too poor to allow identification. The specimen, on whom the diagnosis was based on, was collected in Guinea. Thus the taxon is presumably a cultivated banana or an Ensete .
