Its possible, but its really hard to tell in that photo. Do you have any that are in focus and more detailed of maybe just a few seeds?

If they are smooth and not "worty" or "porous", they are most likely musa sikkimensis.

You should have a load of seedlings in no time. Are you familiar with the sprouting techniques for musa sikkimensis?

Hi
Yes I know:I'll put the seeds in water for two-three days as fast as possible after receiving. Change the water pretty often, at least once a day, but if you can change two or three times, that is better.The seeds are then sowed in a light soil mix, that is, soil added sand, vermiculite or perlite to make it more draining. It should be moist, but not wet.

And most important changing temperatures: 14 hrs of 15-20 degrees and 10 hrs of 30-35 degrees!
