Musa tuberculata is a tropical Asian species of plant in the banana family native to the Malesian region (Brunei).[1] It is one of fourteen species of Musa endemic to the island of Borneo.[2] The specific epithet "tuberculata" is from the Latin meaning "covered with minute tubercles". M. tuberculata is placed in section Callimusa (now including the former section Australimusa), members of which have a diploid chromosome number of 2n = 20.[3]
