in Valmayor et al., The Philippine Agriculture Scientist 87: 117 (2004). — Type: Philippines, Leyte State University, Bambay, Musa Germplasm Bank, 10.VII.2003, Lelita Gonzal VH 1280 (holo-, Leyte State University, Botanical Herbarium).

REMARKS

The name was published illegitimately twice ( Valmayor 2001: 330; Valmayor et al. 2002: 240) ( McNeill et al. 2006: Art. 37.7), since the holotype was not indicated. Valmayor’s (2001) description is based upon a putative hybrid M. banksii × textilis , characterised by Brewbaker & Gorrez (1956: 263). The plant was taken into the cultivation from Philippines ( Valmayor 2001).
