Re: Musa basjoo 'Formosiana'(from Tawain)
There are a few things to consider regarding this plant.
1: As with many seed dealers, they really don't know what they are selling when it comes to new stuff. Much of the time, I see them literally just guess at what they think it might be, and pass it on as a legitimate name. So just because you bought the seed as that, it does not mean at all its correct.
2: Although not published yet, var. formosana (the true to type, real one, regardless of whether its in cultivation or not) is affiliated with the M. itinerans group and will most likely be renamed as a itinerans variety.
