Replies: 12 Darwin's theory of natural selection overthrown??!!! Views: 2,176 Posted By Matt Turner (deleted thread) Sorry for those that were genuinely interested, but I've decided to remove this thread.

Replies: 47 Musa Formosana = Musa Basjoo? Views: 16,996 Posted By Matt Turner Re: Musa Formosana = Musa Basjoo? David Constantine was trying to draw a distinction between regular M. basjoo and M. basjoo var. formosana. But that is not distinct from M. formosana. Musa basjoo var. formosana is a synonym for Musa...

Replies: 47 Musa Formosana = Musa Basjoo? Views: 16,996 Posted By Matt Turner Re: Musa Formosana = Musa Basjoo? There is a four-way confusion here between the species Musa basjoo, Musa itinerans, Musa formosana and Musa balbisiana.

Replies: 47 Musa Formosana = Musa Basjoo? Views: 16,996 Posted By Matt Turner Re: Musa Formosana = Musa Basjoo? Sorry, when I wrote, "Down here a fruiting banana that looks just like M. balbisiana is I think more common (at least along the coast)." I meant to say an eating banana (i.e. seedless). I'm not sure...

Replies: 47 Musa Formosana = Musa Basjoo? Views: 16,996 Posted By Matt Turner Re: Musa Formosana = Musa Basjoo? Musa formosana is not the same as Musa basjoo.
