![]() It is Musa splendida, or perhaps one of the other very closely related species like M. exotica, M. lutea, M. paracoccinea...(which are still being worked out, plus there are a few undescribed ones). But M. splendida is as good a name as any, and since it's not fully mature you couldn't (or at least I can't) tell really well if it was one of the other ones anyways. Great picture, thanks for sharing.

![]() Is Splendida in Musella or Musa? I have seen it both ways. Kew shows it as Musella. Are there any other Musella's besides Lasiocarpa?

![]() Musa splendida and Musella splendida are 2 different species. Some people do not think Musella splendida is truly a new species, and it was just a newly discovered population of Musella lasiocarpa, but as of now it is still a valid distinct species. Based on personal communication with someone who knows bananas very well and has seen both Musellas up close, it is different enough to warrant being a new species.

![]() Learn something new every time I get on here. Keep it coming and thanks for the answers. I have also read some of the older posts about M. bowman. Gotta get one of those! They are almost like ingens, but don't require the cool evenings. If I get any ingens to sprout, I think I will have to give one to Gabe to plant in Colorado somewhere to preserve the plant. Of course, there are mountains here, too, but such lousy soil.

![]() Just hope to get one going, then it's all yours to try to raise. It surely won't grow here in Las Vegas, unless it's somewhere on a mountain. I figure you would be the best candidate for being its custodian. So we will see if these come out. So far, no contamination in 4 of the 5, one might possibly have some type of bacterial contaminant, but I am unsure just yet.
