Musa fitzalanii is a species of wild banana (genus Musa), which was native to north-east Queensland, Australia, but is now believed to be extinct.[1] The type specimen was collected in the 19th century, from the vicinity of 'Daintree's River'.[2] Along with M. acuminata and M. jackeyi, it was one of the three species native to Australia.[3] It was placed in section Callimusa (now including the former section Australimusa).[4]
