Re: noob question
Well, violacea is a species; the question becomes what GENUS does it belong to? Have your seedlings ever bloomed? Are they vines (Ipomoea violacea)? Are they orchids (Phalaenopsis violacea)? Are they woodsorrels (Oxalis violacea)? Fungus? Garlic? Gallic Roses?
Check out the Plant Identification Forum HERE if you've got a picture - these guys are fantastic for plant ID.

Re: noob question
They were sold to me as Musa violacea. But I have found reference on several sites that they are probably something else. Like this site as an example:
