• Abstract : This book is a monograph of wild Musa (banana) species, featuring detailed taxonomic and morphological information, photographs and references. It was a project of the former sea captain and banana taxonomist Markku Häkkinen to publish this book, along with the budding banana researcher Gabriel Sachter-Smith. They worked together on it until Markku's untimely passing in 2015. Gabriel has since dreamt of finishing the work as a tribute to Markku. The result is a beautifully illustrated and informative catalogue of 89 banana species and subspecies, many of which were described by and named after Markku. The PDF is 53 MB.
