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]
The species was named after the explorer and naturalist Nicholas Miklouho-Maclay, who first described it:
"Besides the cultivated varieties, which have been obtained by exchange between the villages, there is to be found in the forest a wild Banana (Musa Maclayi F. v. M.[clarification needed]), compared to the cultivated varieties, with a tall stem (nearly twice as tall), with narrow stiff leaves and small (not edible) fruits full of seeds."
Subspecies
Two subspecies[5][7] and two varieties[7] are known:
- Musa maclayi subsp. ailuluai Argent
- Musa maclayi subsp. maclayi (autonym)
- Musa maclayi var. erecta (Simmonds) Argent
- Musa maclayi var. namatani Argent
