BFD* species delimitations for the varieties of Musa itinerans

Model	Species Number	MLE	Rank	BF
RunD, Mch, Mlc, Mgd, Mit, current model	4	− 3667.1	4	–
RunB, Mch, Mlc, Mgd lumped	2	− 3649.5	2	−35.2
RunC, Mch, Mgd lumped	3	− 3722.4	3	54.9
RunE, two populations of Mgd split	5	− 3626.4	1	−81.4

Bayes factor (BF) calculations were made against the current taxonomy model (RunD), positive BF values indicate support for the current taxonomy model, and negative BF values indicate support for the alternative model
