116. Musa laterita Cheesman View in CoL

Kew Bulletin 4: 265 (1949). — Type: Cheesman, Kew

Bulletin 4: fig. 2 (1949) (lecto-, here designated).

REMARKS

This taxon was described from living specimens cultivated at Trinidad ( Cheesman 1949b: 267). There is a sheet at K!corresponding to the collection information (ICTA no. 225) given ( Cheesman 1949b: 266), but it consists of a leaf only, therefore an illustration was designated as a lectotype.The seeds were from India and Burma [ Myanmar]. According to Simmonds (1962) M. rubra might be identical with M. laterita . In our opinion they are related, and M. laterita might be a variety of M. rubra , but this requires further studies.
