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.

The best place to try growing it in the US would actually probably be Hawai'i. We have many different climates here, including highland tropics. I have some seeds left, but am reluctant to try embryo rescue on them until I can figure out a new method, because the standard methods definitely didn't work.

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.
