goe (Grenada), Moko (Trinidad), White- 
house Plantain (Jamaica), etc. Colorado 
Blanco is probably Green Red. Three 
other varieties described by Pope cannot 
certainly be identified at present; they are 
Eslesno, Chamaluco, and Father Leo- 
nore, and all three are probably AB hy- 
brids. Father Leonore may be the same 
as the LC.T.A. variety King. Pope’s de- 
scription and photograph of Abaca un- 
questionably apply to M. halbisiana Colla, 
not to M. textilis Nee; this mistake has 
often been made and probably results from 
the fact that M. halbisiana is a common 
rogue in Abaca fields in the Philippines 
and has been widely distributed thence as 
true Abaca. (Cheesman, 1949.)
