Default Re: Musa yunnanensis officially described!

My Yunn has wax on it, my Mekong Giants don't. The Mekongs have reddish brown markings on the pesudostem that run up into the petiole. The underside of the leaves have quiet a bit of the same reddish brown coloring. Also there are about 14 prominent lateral veins off the midveins. They also seem to be growing pretty quick now. I did talk to Brian some months ago about the identity of it.
