REMARKS
Ensete wilsonii has been considered to be a good species, but we consider it should be treated as a variant of Ensete glaucum , being distributed on northern range of it in Yunnan, China. A new combination is proposed: Ensete glaucum (Roxb.) Cheesman var. wilsonii (Tutcher) Häkkinen , comb. nov. Basionym: Musa wilsonii Tutcher , Gardeners’ Chronicle ser. 3, 32: 450 (1902). Ensete glaucum var. wilsonii is closely allied with E. glaucum var. glaucum , but differs from it having much shorter trunk, longer petioles and leaves. The natural habitats of var. wilsonii are at higher elevations in northern Yunnan compared to var. glaucum which grows in lower areas in central Yunnan.
