Musa beccarii is a species of wild banana ( genus Musa), found in Malaysia, in Sabah (in the northern part of the island of Borneo). [3] [4] It is placed in section Callimusa (now including the former section Australimusa). [5]
Musa beccarii is a stoloniferous plant growing up to 1.2 metres (3 ft 11 in) tall, with up to 12 suckers. [1] The flower bud is narrow, bright scarlet with green-tipped bracts. The fruit is green and thin. [6]
Musa beccarii grows in damp places at edge of Borneo lowland rain forests and grass fields, up to 49 metres (161 ft) elevation. [1]
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 Musa hottana. [8]
