As mentioned earlier, you'll likely have to wait for it to fruit to get a real ID on it, but we might be able to narrow down the possibilities further with more photos. Could you get a close-up photo of the "crown", the area where the leaves come together at the top of the pseudostem ("trunk")?

Not sure if I got the right pictures for you but I uploaded 4 more to my album. Let me know if they aren't right. Thanks! ☺
