Default Re: In memoriam: Markku Hakkinen

That is indeed sad news. I emailed him a couple of times and he always replied giving me kind permission to use some of his photos of Musa Chunii, a species which he described. Always gracious and generous of his time; a real loss to the banana world. There will be fewer new species discovered or re-described that's for sure. I look forward to the flowering of my Musa Velutina subsp Markuana it will remind me of him.
