However, recent extensive field surveys across the country have unveiled a more complex picture, necessitating a revision of their taxonomic classification. This study revisits the subspecific classification of\n                    <jats:italic>M. acuminata<\/jats:italic>\n                    in Thailand, reassessing the circumscriptions, descriptions, and distributions of previously recognized subspecies using morphological and biogeographic evidence. The findings reveal a distinct new subspecies,\n                    <jats:italic>M. acuminata<\/jats:italic>\n                    subsp.\n                    <jats:italic>kraburiensis<\/jats:italic>\n                    , located on the Isthmus of Kra. This subspecies is distributed in the transitional zone between\n                    <jats:italic>M. acuminata<\/jats:italic>\n                    subsp.\n                    <jats:italic>siamea<\/jats:italic>\n                    in northern Thailand and\n                    <jats:italic>M. acuminata<\/jats:italic>\n                    subsp.\n                    <jats:italic>malaccensis<\/jats:italic>\n                    in Peninsular Thailand. Furthermore, a northern occurrence of the latter subspecies was recorded, suggesting a potential dispersal route along the Thailand\u2013Myanmar mountain range. Fieldwork revealed additional novel forms within existing subspecies, i.e., a putative mutant form with yellow inflorescence bracts and another form with unusual branching of the inflorescence. Finally,\n                    <jats:italic>M. acuminata<\/jats:italic>\n                    subsp. truncata was recorded for the first time in Thailand.\n                    <jats:italic>Musa acuminata<\/jats:italic>\n                    subsp.\n                    <jats:italic>burmannica<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>M. acuminata<\/jats:italic>\n                    subsp.\n                    <jats:italic>burmannicoides<\/jats:italic>\n                    , and\n                    <jats:italic>M. acuminata<\/jats:italic>\n                    subsp.\n                    <jats:italic>microcarpa<\/jats:italic>\n                    were not observed during the field survey. Based on the analysis of the\n                    <jats:italic>M. acuminata<\/jats:italic>\n                    subspecies complex in Thailand, the variation is best treated at the subspecies rather than the varietal level.
