After reviewing 'Platanillo Panoramio', now that I am back and have better computer
access, I have come to the conclusion, that it cannot be identical to the 'Musa Velutina',
maybe related, but not identical

The M.V. is shorter, edible and as the fruit ripens the peel peels back. If you wanted to
eat the P.P., you would need the stomach of a goat. Inside the fruit there are only seeds
and pulp, no fruit at all and I have seen no evidence of self peeling in the few P.Ps.,
which I have observed, it appears, that the 'Platanillo Panoramio' is more rare, than
I believed. Add to that the possibility, that there are two different cultivars, it makes
it a very interesting specimen.
