175. Musa sapientum View in CoL L. subsp. seminifera (Lour.) Baker f. dubia Baker

Annals of Botany (Oxford) 7: 214 (1893).

Musa sapientum var. dubia (Baker) A.M.Cowan & Cowan, Trees View in CoL of North Bengal: 135 (1929).

REMARKS

There is no original material and the manuscript by King, to whom Baker (1893) refers, could not be found. Therefore the meaning of the name remains dubious. While making their combination, Cowan & Cowan (1929) did not indicate to which subspecies the name dubia belongs. As a forma or variety of M. sapientum the name should be interpreted as a cultivar.
