Revisio generum plantarum vascularium omnium atque cellularium multarum secundum leges nomeclaturae internationales cum enumeratione plantarum exoticarum in itinere mundi collectarum: 691 (1891). — Ensete gigantea (Kuntze) Nakai , Bulletin of the Tokyo Science Museum Tokyo: 22: 12 (1948). — Type: Indonesia, Sumatra, Halle’s Garten , Parakan , Salak , VI.1875, O. Kuntze s.n. (lecto-, NY 00320139 !, designated by Häkkinen & Väre 2008) .

REMARKS

Cheesman (1948: 104) and Moore (1957) consider that the name is dubious. We could not identify the lectotype specimen, but it is a Musa ( Häkkinen & Väre 2008) .
