Validity of Musa sections
As more Musa species are described, the delimitation of the current four sections of Musa breaks down as some new species cannot be placed on morphological grounds alone. Wong et al. (pp. 231-238) use AFLP to resolve the position of these species, and support the view that only two sections, sect. Musa (including sect. Rhodochlamys) and sect. Callimusa (including sect. Australimusa), should be recognized.
