Re: Musella Lasiocarpa now a Musa
Well, that site is from 2002 and I don't know if all botanists would accept that. I know that I don't accept it( and I am just a few years away from having a degree and being an actual Botanist by profession). I am very skeptical about this also, because I haven't seen a scientific journal article about it. That is what I really use to go by when it comes to changes in nomenclature like that.
Gabe- had you seen this before? What does Markku say about it? Zac |

Re: Musella Lasiocarpa now a Musa
I'm very skeptical about that also. Supposedly, there has been another species of Musella discovered in North Vietnam, so it may not be a monotypic genus after alll. Where are their references? Who reclassified it and why? Too much missing information there.

Re: Musella Lasiocarpa now a Musa
There are 2 species of Musella, Musella lasiocarpa and Musella splendida, and yes they are different. They are still in their own genus, nothing has changed for a few years. If anything they are closer to Ensete, not Musa. Infact they should cross fairly easily, Ensete x Musella, but not Musa x Musella.

Re: Musella Lasiocarpa now a Musa
Carlos- I know splendida is from Vietnam. I think the bracts are a little longer, at least from what I have seen on the internet.

Re: Musella Lasiocarpa now a Musa
I know it is a larger plant, but I have not seen the full description, only a few pictures.
