Hi Markku!

Yes it is tuberculous, not warty at all. Pretty smooth. It is slightly smaller than E Glaucum, but is not that or E Vent. It is funny you just posted about this because I pulled one of the non germinated seeds out last night and looked at it. I suspect it is an Ensete Superbum India, or is it Thai, well which ever of the two has the bigger of the seeds. After you ID Jeff's plant as a Superbum, and his mix up with the seeds being sold as Perrieri, I have a feeling there was a bunch of seeds sold as Perrieri on the market that were really Superbums. And I have a feeling this was part of that batch. Anway this is what I was able to piece together from all of my research.

If you would still like a piece of dried leaf when it gets a little bigger just let me know Markku and I'll get it to you!

Eric
