Re: Musa textilis
Gabe15,
Do you have any idea why there are so many Musa sp. (especially Musa balbisiana, isn't it?) mislabeled as Musa textilis? Could it be mix-ups or interchanges from some specimen collecting or research centers?
And fruits on the 2 Musa textilis photos you shared are not ripe yet. Do you know the shape and size of matured fruits of true textilis? (As for color, I guess it's simply yellow. Is it?) Do they look like balbisiana?
BTW, I also saw your photos of true textilis in the thread "Banana ID." They look quite different from this one to me! Is it just variations between individuals or that they are in different physiological stages? Or else?
Thanks!
