Default Musa serpentina, new species described

In my opinion this paper is somewhat poorly written, particularly in how this species is different from others in the area, and it remains to be seen if it is accepted in the long term, but here it is. They do not mention anywhere in the paper it's sectional status, but it appears to be a Rhodochlamys, but also looks like it has some traits suggesting it could be of hybrid origin between M. laterita and some M. acuminata, but that's just speculation on my part.
