Musa maclayi is a species of seeded banana native to Papua New Guinea and possibly the Solomon Islands.[2] It is placed in section Callimusa (now including the former section Australimusa).[3] It is regarded as one of the progenitors of the Fe'i banana cultivars.[4]
The plant has red sap and an upright flowering and fruiting stem.[5] The fruits are rounded and arranged closely together in bunches – partly joined along their edges in some varieties.[4]
