It is one of the two genera in the banana family, Musaceae, and includes the false banana or enset (E. ventricosum), an economically important food crop in Ethiopia.[1][2][3] TaxonomyThe genus Ensete was first described by Paul Fedorowitsch Horaninow (1796-1865) in his Prodromus Monographiae Scitaminarum of 1862 in which he created a single species, Ensete edule. However, the genus did not receive general recognition until 1947 when it was revived by E. E. Cheesman in the first of a series of papers in the Kew Bulletin on the classification of the bananas, with a total of 25 species. Taxonomically, the genus Ensete has shrunk since Cheesman revived the taxon. Cheesman acknowledged that field study might reveal synonymy and the most recent review of the genus by Simmonds (1960) listed just six. Recently the number has increased to seven as the Flora of China has, not entirely convincingly, reinstated Ensete wilsonii. There is one species in Thailand, somewhat resembling E. superbum, that has not been formally described, and possibly other Asian species. It is possible to separate Ensete into its African and Asian species.
Ensete gilletii Ensete homblei Ensete perrieri - endemic to Madagascar but intriguingly like the Asian E. glaucum Ensete ventricosum - enset or false banana, widely cultivated as a food plant in Ethiopia
Ensete glaucum - widespread in Asia from India to Papua New Guinea Ensete superbum - Western Ghats of India Ensete wilsonii - Yunnan, China, but doubtfully distinct from E. glaucum Ensete sp. "Thailand" - possibly a new species or a disjunct population of E. superbum See also
