			 I didn't know there was a difference.  Maybe that is part of the problem with mine not having much black on the pseudostem.  Maybe I've got "the other one".

			 So-called Thai Black (M.balbisiana variety) is native to Indonesia. It has grown there for a long time. I had good possibilitie to study it in my recent trip to Indonesia.

			 I've got a Black Thai. It sure has the dark markings on the p-stem and petioles. It's beautiful. It grows rather fast as well.
