Abstract

Musa × calicutensis K. P. Smisha & M. Sabu hybrid nov. (Musaceae), a new manually crossed interspecific hybrid of two wild parent plants Musa haekkinenii (female) and Musa beccarii (male) is described and illustrated. A comparison of characters with a key to the new hybrid M. × calicutensis with its parents and related variety are provided.
