Résumé fourni par la source

There are seven varieties of Musa balbisiana (Musaceae) in the South and Southeast Asia. Here, Musa balbisiana var. bhutanensis P. Gyeltshen, is described and illustrated as a new variety from central Bhutan. It resembles M. balbisiana var. balbisiana and var. elavazhai, but differs from them by having a longer peduncle, oblong to broadly ovate bracts, a creamy anther with pink tinge, and shorter and more numerous seeds per fruit. The conservation status of the new variety is assessed as Data Deficient (DD).
