4) Isn't AeAe, Zebrina, Ruby Siam, etc. based on leaves.
5) Doesn't appear to be a dwarf variety based on current height
6) Doesn't appear to be Misi Luki, Namwah or Belle judging from the color of the trunk.
7) If the trunk stays slender, then you can probably rule out Brazilian, Saba, Praying Hands, Monthan, Sweetheart, etc.
If this isn't already posted somewhere (that I haven't found yet) these are great suggestions. Could you take it and elaborate a bit, example:
1) Doesn't look like a Red, judging by the pseudostem color - red will have peachy red pstem
2) Doesn't look like one of the Cavendish varieties judging by the leaves - new cavendish leaves have mottled maroon splotching.
I don't know or I would put them in. Thanks! ~JaNan
