Musa fitzalanii was a species of wild banana ( genus Musa), which was native to north-east Queensland, Australia, but is now believed to be extinct. [2] The type specimen was collected in the 19th century, from the vicinity of ' Daintree's River' most likely by Eugene Fitzalan, an Irish collector who apparently worked with Ferdinand von Mueller, the first describer of the species. [3] Along with M. acuminata and M. jackeyi, it was one of the three species native to Australia. [4] It was placed in section Callimusa (now including the former section Australimusa). [5]
