The present work is part of a continuing study on Musa taxa by the author. Several molecular analyses support acceptance of only two Musa sections, M . sect. Musa and M . sect. Callimusa. Musa sect. Rhodochlamys is synonymized with M . sect. Musa and M . sect. Australimusa and M . sect. Ingentimusa are treated as synonyms of M . sect. Callimusa . Species lists are provided for the two accepted sections.
