Default Re: Musa basjoo var.?

Hi Markku,
A couple of years ago I was reading on the Internet about a botanical expedition to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, in that report they made reference to seeing M.balbisiana not sure if they saw it on the Plateau though but they was in Tibet..
I sent an E-mail to one of the members of that expedition a Dr. Ge, to ask if they had collected any seeds and he replied to say there weren’t any seeds on them at the time.
I never asked if he had collected Herbaria specimens though.

I think Dr.Ge could be, Professor Xue-jun Ge of the South China Botanical Garden Guangzhou, so you may know him.

Thanks,
Tony
