Hi Frank,

according to the Kew Monocot list, this is the accepted name:
Ensete livingstonianum (J.Kirk) Cheesman, Kew Bull. 2: 101 (1947 publ. 1948).
This name is accepted.
Distribution: W. Trop. Africa to Malawi
22 BEN IVO NGA SIE TOG 23 CAF CMN CON ZAI 26 ANG MLW
Lifeform: Herb. phan.
Family: Musaceae
Original Compiler: R.Govaerts

Looks like Musa livingstoniana predates M. gilletii:

Musa gilletii De Wild., Rev. Cultures Colon. 8: 102 (1900).
Musa livingstoniana J.Kirk, J. Linn. Soc., Bot. 9: 128 (1867).

I hope I got that right. Best, TOBY
