Pseudostem colour - Blotches slight or absent
Petiole canal - Open w/margins spreading
Peduncle - no hair
Pedicels - UNKNOWN
Ovules loculus - UNKNOWN
Bract shoulder - intermediate?
Bract curling - revolute
Bract shape - Moreso acute
Bract apex - Moreso acute
Bract colour - Green-yellow w/slight red/purple undertones
Colour fading - Fades to a little yellow-greener towards the base
Bract scars - UNKNOWN
Free tepal of male flower - UNKNOWN
Male flower colour - UNKNOWN
Stigma colour - UNKNOWN

Right now I'm thinking it might be a basjoo?

Thanks again for any help you can offer. I'll check back with more info as the blooming proceeds!


Wow! Very scientific! Good job!
