Musa beccarii is a species of wild banana (genus Musa), found in Malaysia, in Sabah (in the northern part of the island of Borneo).[2][3] It is placed in section Callimusa (now including the former section Australimusa).[4]
Description
Musa beccarii is a stoloniferous plant growing up to 1.2 metres (3.9 ft) tall, with up to 12 suckers.[5] The flower bud is narrow, bright scarlet with green-tipped bracts. The fruit is green and thin.[6]
Habitat
Musa beccarii grows in damp places at edge of Borneo lowland rain forests and grass fields, up to 49 metres (161 ft) elevation.[5]
Taxonomy
The species is named after Italian naturalist Odoardo Beccari.[7]
It includes two subspecies, Musa beccarii subsp. beccarii (the autonym) and Musa beccarii subsp. hottana Häkkinen.[8][9] Häkkinen et al., 2007 use Inter-Retrotransposon Amplified Polymorphism (IRAP) markers to measure genetic distance between the subspecies.[8] They recommend separation as Musa beccarii and '.[8]
