I recall Momoese's plant. I believe he obtained it from a local nursery. In that case it would have been distributed by La Verne's (see previous post). I also recall the discussion and the consensus was Mysore and no agreement on Improved Mysore.

If you're having a difficult time finding a banana plant I'd recommend checking with TyTaylor and HMelendez -- the banana police!
FWIW, Sword pup implies a decently large sized corm, water sprout implies smaller starter plant. Ty mentioned he's building up his collection this year after a hard freeze from last winter, I did try to hit him up earlier this year and last year with no luck for some special varieties.
