So, did you just get plants? I can't get over the white fruits! Very colorful bud too. One of the other varieties has pink and white variegated fruits! Definitely one of the more ornamental species in the area, IMHO. Shoot, the entire country of Borneo has some amazing, rare species. Neat stuff. Thanks for posting, Tog. Did I mention to post more? LOL. |
Yo Frank,
Sorry mate, no seeds this time! Only the 3 puppies.
The rain has eased off here finally and time for me to hunt down the
Musa gracilis Purple flower form. Know something interesting? Remember I spoke of the
Red flower Callimusa? According to Markku Hakkinen, it's the 3rd form of the
Musa gracilis. I roughly know the site and I think I can find it without getting lost in the jungle.
He also spoke of the invalid taxon,
Musa corneri which was recorded by Holttum in the 1940's. It is supposed to belong to the
Musa acuminata complex. Ha!
I have found this plant in a certain area. Physically and visually it is pretty different from the
M-a-s-malaccensis. I will do a post on it later when I get pix.
