Maricongo is the correct name for the Maricongo, but that doesn't mean your plant is a Maricongo.

If you plant came from Puerto Rico and was referred to as a Maricongo or a Congo, then you probably have an unknown plantain.

Almost everyone in PR calls every plantain either a Maricongo or a Congo, most farmers don't know the difference between the two, even though one is a False Horn Plantain and the other a French Plantain.

It's difficult to go from a certified Rhino Horn to a 100% Maricongo to an unknown plantain in a few hours, but you are already narrowing down the possibilities.
