Default Re: what are the differences between Musa Cheesmanii and Musa Nagiensum

this is driving me mad (well madder than usual anyway) Nag and cheese are so different. I'm off down the polytunnel for another look.

I just noticed that Flaviflora is now designated a synonym of Thomsonii. I'm really not sure about this either.

These re-designations do seem to fly in the face of some pretty compelling photographic evidence, not to mention many years of work by a number of very capable botanists. The taxonomic descriptions have some significant differences.
I need to get a load of photos uploaded to the wiki and then perhaps ask Mr Hakkinen to comment.
