Abstract
Two new species of ornamental banana, namely Musa siangensis Taid, S.S. Singh et Gajurel and Musa bracteata S.S. Singh, Gajurel et Taid collected in Arunachal Pradesh, India, are described. Morphologically, both the new species are close to Musa arunachalensis A. Joe, Sreejith et M. Sabu. Morphological characters are described and illustrated with colour photographs for easy recognition. A key to the closely related species and a table of comparison enumerating selected morphological characters are also provided. The new species are further supported by molecular rbcL sequence data.
本文描述了在印度阿鲁纳恰尔邦采集的两个观赏香蕉新品种,即 Musa siangensis Taid, S.S. Singh et Gajurel 和 Musa bracteata S.S. Singh, Gajurel et Taid。从形态上看,这两个新种都接近于 Musa arunachalensis A. Joe, Sreejith et M. Sabu。描述了形态特征,并配有彩色照片,便于识别。此外,还提供了近缘种的检索表和列举所选形态特征的比较表。分子 rbcL 序列数据进一步支持了这些新物种。
