“…Kalimantan Island has 20 species of endemic wild bananas, but only 15 species that have been previously described (Häkkinen 2004a). Endemic wild bananas were found in Sarawak, Malaysia, such as M. bauensis (Häkkinen and Meekiong 2004), Musa voonii (Häkkinen 2004a), M. campestris Becc (Häkkinen 2004b), M. azizii (Häkkinen 2005), M. beccarii (Häkkinen et al 2005), M. suratii and M. monticola (Argent 2000). There was one study about distribution of wild banana in West Kalimantan-by Sulistyaningsih and Irawanto (2011) reporting that M. campestris Becc.…”

Sunandar A. 2017. Short Communication: New record of wild banana (Musa balbisiana Colla) in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 18: 1324-1330. Kalimantan Island (Indonesia) is part of the center of origin and diversity of wild bananas in Indo-Malesia region. West Kalimantan is one of province in Kalimantan Island. However, only a little information is available about diversity of wild bananas in West Kalimantan. The aims of this study were to study a possible new record of wild banana species in Nipah Panjang and Teluk Nibung Villages, Kubu Raya District and to describe its phenetic relationships among wild banana species based on morphological characters. By examination based on the morphological character, one species of wild banana was identified, i.e. Musa balbisiana found in Teluk Nibung Village (Local name: Pisang Klotok). However, we didnâ€™t found any wild bananas in Nipah Panjang Village. M. balbisiana was a new record in West Kalimantan. Previously, M. balbisiana is widely distributed only in Java and Sulawesi. M. balbisiana was found in roadsides or backyards of residents in Teluk Nibung Village. Dendrogram of phenetic relationship showed that M. balbisiana from West Kalimantan had similarity with M. balbisiana from Sulawesi with coefficient of similarity 80%.

“…Wild species of banana family have been a taxonomically difficult group due to the large fleshy nature of the plants, ephemeral aspect of the flowers (Liu et al 2002), and poor representation in herbaria (Argent 1976, Häkkinen & Väre 2008. In the last decade, extensive field observations were made by botanists in diversity centers of Musa, such as India, southwestern China, Vietnam etc., and many new species were identified (i.e., Häkkinen 2004, 2005, 2006, 2009, Häkkinen & Meekiong 2004, Häkkinen & Wallace 2007, Häkkinen & Teo 2008, Häkkinen & Wang 2008, Sabu et al 2013). The new species described here is from Southwestern Yunnan, China, apparently belonging to the section Musa (former section Rhodochlamys) because of its brightly colored bracts.…”
