Can anyone tell me what these really are? I got them TOGETHER as M. Itinerans, but as you can see they don't look the same. They have similar growth habits, same rate of growth and are both about 3 feet high as of today. Yet the leaves look different. I think the second one is Musa Yunnanensis.

Plant #1

Sorry this next pic came out sideways. But it shows a lot of dark markings on the pseudostem.

Plant #2

I think this is Musa Yunnanensis, although these pictures don't show much.

The second plant has no markings on the leaves, and some wax on the pseudostem. Any help is much apprecitated!
