When you buy 1st generation TC plants you take a chance that their supplier labeled correctly (and had proper parent stock) and that the reseller didn't mix things up. When you purchase/trade/are gifted pups from folks who have grown plants and either identified them or had someone do so, you're most likely receiving the real deal. I recently bought 2 pups from a nursery going out of business; they were marked. Do I trust them? Not completely...but it's obvious they're Musas.

ETA: Having worked as a landscaper for an operation that maintained their own supply of plants I can tell you that it's very easy for a tag to fall out of a pot then get tucked into the "same pot" (read: one without a tag that's nearby). Installing 200 daylilies of a certain variety one year then having to redo the bed once they'd bloomed because the originals were the wrong color was an expensive lesson.
