Notes:

   Musa angcorensis Gagnep. is poorly known and may not be a good species. It was placed very tentatively in section Callimusa but, if it exists at all, it is more likely to be section Musa.
   Musa banksii F. Muell. is generally considered to be a distinct species rather than a form of Musa acuminata.
   Musa beccarii Simmonds is reported as having a chromosome number of x (= 1n) = 9 and 10, the latter due to multivalent formation during meiosis. Although genetically it nestles comfortably within section Callimusa the chromosome number needs clarification.
   Musa basjoo is the most cold hardy species of Musa, growing and fruiting successfully in outdoor cultivation in the British Isles and British Columbia.
   Musa coccinea Andrews has been confirmed as the correct name for the plant often called Musa uranoscopos Lour. in the literature.
   Musa exotica Valmayor is newly described from Vietnam where it is known as Chuoi Rung Hoa Do. It has the correct chromosome number for section Callimusa.
   Musa flaviflora Simmonds (one of the "parents" of Musa ornata) should perhaps be treated as a sub-species of Musa acuminata Colla.
   Musa hirta Becc. is a good species although poorly known and its affinities with Musa beccarii suggest it belongs with that species in section Callimusa.
   Musa insularimontana Hayata endemic to a single island off Taiwan is poorly known. It is close to Musa textilis and is perhaps vulnerable to reduction.
   Musa ornata Roxb. seems to be a "secondary species", a relic of a hybrid swarm between Musa flaviflora and Musa velutina.
   Musa pigmaea Hotta (nomen nudum as yet) is a good species although enigmatic. Its reported affinity with Musa beccarii suggests it belongs with that species in section Callimusa.
   Musa siamea (comb. nov) is placed here somewhat prematurely but based on recent genetic evidence is likely to be elevated from Musa acuminata subsp. siamea.
   Musa splendida A. Chev. is poorly known and may not be a good species. A plant known as Chuoi gai, a name given by Chevalier for Musa splendida, seems identical with Musa paracoccinea but differs from Chevalier's description of Musa splendida.
   Musa thomsonii Noltie is a good species although very poorly known. However, seed has just become available commercially.
   Musa velutina Wendl. & Drude may be the same as Musa dasycarpa Kurz in which case the latter would have priority.
   Musa sp. 'Burmese Blue' is placed here deliberately provocatively. It has been reported as being Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana but seems different from both.
   Musa sp. 'VN1-054' is placed here rather speculatively. Known in Vietnam as Chuoi Rung Hoa Soan, it has been confused with Musa itinerans although differing in its remarkable imbricate male bud. That it is a hitherto unknown species is reported here for the first time.
