Default Re: Unknown Seeded Banana Presented for ID

Well, I reexamined the seeds today after they dried out. They are NOT Musa sikkimensis, at least the straight species. They are all warty! Something I didn't notice when they were wet, but very apparent after they dried out. Musa sikkimensis seeds are quite smooth, with no warts. So, perhaps a hybrid, like M. sikkimensis X balbisiana, is a possibility here. Cool.
