Most of their other banana seed ID's look fine except for M. ornata 'orange flower' and M. sakaiana. The "ornata" (which it is not) looks maybe to be even some kind of Callimusa perhaps, but seeing the seed would help. Either way it's not M. ornata or any form it. The M. sakaiana looks a bit off too perhaps, theirs looks more like something in the textilis-tuberculata-muluensis group. But also we must remember that there is very little information presented with these specimens so some of it is hard to say for sure, and with plants collected from the wild like this it's often easier to say what it is not rather than what it is.
