97. Musa hillii F.Muell.

Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae 9: 190 (1875) . — Type: Australia, Queensland], Daintree River , X.1875, [Elliot] Fitzalan (lecto-, MEL 657788!, 657789!, designated by Ross [1987: 18]; iso-, BRI).

REMARKS

There are two type sheets at MEL, both bear a cross marking “ Musa N. 1” by Fitzalan. According to Baker (1893: 217), Simmonds (1957: 486) and Ross (1987) this name is synonymous to M. jackeyi described by Hill (1874). There is no known type of that name ( Ross 1987: 18). Musa jackeyi is neotypified here (see name no. 109) with the same type as has been designated for M. hillii .
