REMARKS

The seeds were received by the Jamaica Banana Board Research Department from Poona Agricultural College , Bombay [ Mumbai], India . The exact locality is not known, but Assam and Western Ghats are suggested ( Shepherd 1964). The description is supported by a good illustration, which is selected here as an epitype to remove any potential ambiguity. The lectotype is preserved in liquid, and difficult to study essential characters .
