Hey Tog, upon further examination of the picture of you holding that inflorescence in your right hand, it looks like Musa violascens. It has two rows of fruit per bract! The other inflorescence at your feet appears to have only one row per bract. The sheer size of those plants is awesome, even for M. violascens! M. gracilis is supposed to be even smaller than M. violascens, which is listed as only 1-2 meters pseudostem height.

What do you think??
