Fyi Harvey, with ref to the post by Steven-Varig8, if the Wild Asian Musa is the aurea form from Thailand, then it is the Musa acuminata subsp siamea. Someone found it in the wild some years ago and only recently it is available for sale. There are also people offering the seeds from this particular plant and they seem to have a high percentage of Variegated sprouts. I have 2 of these plants with me. They are a bit sensitive as there is not much green on the leaves. My Thai friend told me to go easy on the water with it and I didn't believe him as I thought as long as it is a M acuminata, it's gotta to be drinker. But then, I was wrong!
