Mush,

Here is a pic of my Red Iholene when it was small. Note the good leaf color underside.

'Red Iholene' on the mainland is 'Iholena Lele' (pronounced ee-ho-leh-nah leh-leh), and the 'White Iholene' is a reduced color sport. Below are photos of mature 'Iholena Lele' in Hawaii (it is a Hawaiian cultivar).

There are a fair number of varied Iholena cultivars throughout the Pacific but a few are available on the mainland (Iholena Lele (red and white forms), Ha'a ha'a (I think may be a dwarf form of Lele and not the true Ha'a ha'a of old Hawaii), and Kumunamba which is a Iholena from Papua New Guinea).

African Rhino Horn
The Fruit is very immature. A storm blew over the raceme...they needed two more months on the plant...
Why do they refer to them as Rhino Horn?
I would speculate because of the soft terminal end of the flower…

Here's thed Red Iholena that I bought from Green Thumb Nursery the other day. It's in the back. It looks a little sad right now after being stuffed into a truck and transplanted.

They are different than African Rhino Horn -- see MediaHound's pictures and video down in one of the earlier posts in this thread.

There is a group of plantains called Horn Plantains which all only produce female flowers, never producing male flowers. This mutation has occurred a few times in other groups of bananas, but it is rare. There is a budless Saba-type I know for sure, and an East African Highland Banana which switches between "budded" and "non-budded" forms. There are also a number of varieties, both edible and wild, which quickly terminate the male bud, but that is a different action than not producing a male bud at all as in the Horn Plantains.
