Yes, it's full name is 'Mai'a Hapai', I have only seen one here. It is a diploid, and the bunch starts out in the pseudostem and when it gets big enough it will bust out of the side (however some assistance is often given by the grower). NOTE: Except for the last one of the mature bunch, these photos are not mine, I found them somewhere on the internet years ago and I don't remember where.
