183. Musa sapientum View in CoL L. var. rubra Baker

Annals of Botany (Oxford) 7: 213 (1893).

Musa × paradisiaca L. subsp. sapientum (L.) Kuntze var. rubra (Baker) K.Schum. , in Engler, Das Pflanzenreich IV.45: 20 (1900).

REMARKS

Herbarium and types of Baker are at K and WELT ( Stafleu & Cowan 1976), and some at CAL also.No original material was found, and there is no type information ( Baker 1893). As a variety of M. sapientum the name should be interpreted as a cultivar.The brief diagnosis also refers to a cultivated banana “stem, petiole, flowers and midrib of leaf dull red. Fruit about 7 in. long, at first dark red, ripening to yellowish red”. This name has not been used by botanists.
