So is the Musa sp. "Yunnan" M. yunnanensis or M. itinerans var. chinensis?
Here is the photo of the rhizome of the Musa itinerans we have ( itinerans or xish.?). It was about 4ft from the parent, the rhizome itself has a nice red color but no red sap.

Whoops, just saw this after I basically answered this question in another thread, LOL! If it is watery sap with no red (the description for var. itinerans says watery milky), it isn't var. xishuangbannaensis.
The other banana is Musa yunnanensis. There is a big difference in the shape of the flower bud between it and M. itinerans.
Nothing about M. formosana or M. 'Burmese Blue' was addressed in this article.
