Default thai red banana

Check out this banana. Kinda has that flaked chartreuse color on the underside. Wonder if "sian red" mutated from this one?

I am postthailand on eBay.

Actually, its scientific name is "Heliconia indica Lamarck cv. Spectabilis" and "Red banana" is its local name.

thanks :-)

Turns out it's claimed to be infact
Heliconia indica Lamarck cv. Spectabilis.
http://prathom.swu.ac.th/panmai/show...-10110-002-312




However, looking at the underside of the leaves

(sellers)


(mine)

it looks like there may be some further confusion.

False alarm!
