69. Musa dechangensisJ.L.Liu & M.G.Liu Acta Botanica Yunnanica 9: 163 (1987). — Type: China, Sichuan, Dechang, Xiaogao, alt. 1380 m, 2.XII.1984, J. L. Liu& J. Q. Xiao179(holo-, XIAS).
REMARKS Wu & Kress (2000)considered Musa dechangensisas synonymous with M. balbisianastating that “ M. dechangensisis indistinguishable from M. balbisianain almost all aspects of bracts, fruit, and seeds. The slight differences given by the authors can be observed within M. balbisianaand, therefore, do not support the recognition of this variant as an independent species”. Most recently, Liu et al. (2002)studied more herbarium material of M. dechangensisand considered it to be identical with M. basjoo, and that Wu’s analysis is flawed. The correct status of M. dechangensisneeds to be re-evaluated.
