I think that is a pink/purple color, though.

Looks green to me. Ooops, let me take my sunglasses off. Blue-ish it is.

I really like the look and size of the 18063. USDA ars-grin accession?

Blue Java, Bluggoe, Krie, Cenizo, Ney Mannan

Most of these are synonyms.

Silver Bluggoe = Pisang Abu Perak = Cenizo
Blue Java = Ney Mannan

I would be willing to bet that Ubok Iba and Krie are synonyms for one of those two varieties. And there's lots more synonyms for those two varieties.

Is there somewhere a list of synonyms?

Thanks
