Musa textilis
This is Musa textilis (abaca fiber), and the only true to type specimen I have seen growing the in the US (at the Waimea Valley Audubon Center on the north shore of Oahu Hawaii). Everything other "Musa textilis" I have seen is either M. balbisiana (Ito-Basho fiber) or a M. balbisiana variant or hybrid (very interesting, not abaca, but possibly what is sometimes called canton fiber, a rare M. balbisiana and M. textilis hybrid).
