Description

Musa paradisiaca Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 1043. 1753.

"Habitat in India." RCN: 7536.

Lectotype (Argent in Jarvis & al., Regnum Veg. 127: 68. 1993): [icon] "Musa clijfortiana" in Linnaeus, Musa Cliff: unnumbered plate. 1736 (see p. 69).

Generitype of Musa Linnaeus (vide Adanson, Fam. 2: 525, 580. 1763).

Current name: Musa × paradisiaca L. (Musaceae).

Note: See extensive discussion by Cheeseman (in Kew Bull. 3: 146. 1948) who, however, did not explicitly refer to any of the plates as type. Ghazanfar (in Ali & Nasir, Fl. Pakistan 144: 2. 1982) indicated 1207.1 (LINN) as type, but this was a post-1753 addition to the herbarium and not original material for the name.
