Please see following from Taxon 58 (3) • August 2009: 1009:

Proposal to conserve the name Musa velutina against M. dasycarpa
(Musaceae)

Here is a part of the quotation of the published texts:
“A Google search on both names on 22 June 2009 favored M. velutina by 16,500 to 143 web documents returned and provides further evidence for this usage. Nevertheless, as clarified by Häkkinen & Väre the name M. dasycarpa is synonymous with M. velutina and has priority over this name. However, as the former name has been very rarely used we propose to conserve M. velutina against M. dasycarpa under Art. 14 of the ICBN (McNeill & al. in Regnum Veg. 146. 2006) to avoid confusion and to stabilise Musa nomenclature”.

However, the final decision of the valid names will be voted by the committee in the next year's conference Australia. That means that Musa dasycarpa is valid name for the time being.
Markku.
