Joy Re: I stumbled upon a Musa gracilis STRONGHOLD!

Hi Gabe, they are uniseriate. There is another jumbo site on the western part separated by a mountain with a similar situation of Musa violascens. Heck lots of it like this place. Most of the Callimusa grow huge in the very moist areas.
I spoke to my friend who does alot of orchid collecting and he says he has seen a Callimusa with a red flower over another site separated by yet another mountain. I have told him to get the aborigines there to collect a few samples for me with the flower and fruit. I wonder what this is? Just can't wait to get my hands on it.
Anyway, I am getting my pals to collect from various localities for comparison. There are a couple of inaccessible places which are totally protected and the only way to get stuff out is by the aborigines. It's quite fun here where we can get the results fast if we do some hunting and make a couple of phone calls.
