Re: Musa sp. yangtse ........ which variety is this?
This is the yunnanensis variety collected by Tobias Spanner from North Yunnan on the way to Yangtse river valley. This information is based on my personnel communication with Toby. It has nothing to do with Tibet. I have observed the same variety in many areas in N.Yunnan at high elevation in where it is commonly cultivated as animal fodder. It is an intermediate form of var. yunnanensis and var. yongpingensis.
Markku.
