All hello! Here still I represent one plant for identification. The supplier has sold to me seeds as Musa acuminata and has told that they have been gathered in Thailand. I have defined it as Musa acuminata ssp. siamea, to all tags it is similar to this variety. What your opinion about it?

The flowering parts of the plant seem to provide a better indication of the species than does leaves, petioles and pseudostems. I would not venture a guess without first "keying" the flowering parts.

Great pictures and thank you for sharing! :2239:

Thanks Caloosamusa, yes are finite, flowering much more facilitates sort identification, already definitive, but it would be desirable to spend preliminary identification to available tags. Who can saw wild growth of this sort and can make matching?

Yes, True!

The more I learn, the more I know, I don't know!

Good weather, Growing, and Learning be your Raules! :2239:

I'd venture to say that is does resemble Musa siamansis (Thai Gold) but cannot say for sure until we see a bloom.

Thanks Brent, but it are exact not Musa siamansis (Thai Gold). Because for Musa siamansis (Thai Gold) has distinctive outwardly seeds from other sorts. I bought this variety, but unfortunately they have not given shoots. Though outwardly the plant can and remind Musa siamansis (Thai Gold).
