Did you or someone bring that from the Philippines? Seņorita bananas are short pstemmed bananas (5-6ft) with short fruit with very thin skin. Bears fruit 8 months from pup transplant in the Philippines. Having a short shelf life, the entire bunch is usually sold because of this. For flavor, it's tough choice between this and the Lakatan, with possibly the Seņorita having a tinsy-winsy edge, as the best tasting in my book.
I don't remember Seņorita leaves nor pstem with red blotches, though. But it's been over 27 years since I've seen a plant.
There have been discussions on this previously. Here are some links:
