Description
editMusa beccarii is a stoloniferous plant growing up to 1.2 metres (3 ft 11 in) tall, with up to 12 suckers.[1] The flower bud is narrow, bright scarlet with green-tipped bracts. The fruit is green and thin.[6]
Habitat
editMusa beccarii grows in damp places at edge of Borneo lowland rain forests and grass fields, up to 49 metres (161 ft) elevation.[1]
Taxonomy
editThe species is named after Italian naturalist Odoardo Beccari.[7]
It includes two subspecies, Musa beccarii subsp. beccarii (the autonym) and Musa beccarii subsp. hottana Häkkinen.[8][9] Häkkinen et al., 2007 use Inter-Retrotransposon Amplified Polymorphism (IRAP) markers to measure genetic distance between the subspecies.[8] They recommend separation as Musa beccarii and Musa hottana.[8]
