Re: Musa x paradisiaca Vittata
I'm sure we can all agree that paradisiaca is an outdated name.
But I am leaning toward BigDog on this one though for different reasons. Ae Ae does not appear to produce very transparent leaves, even all white pups produces leaves that are thick in nature. And if we look at Tyoro pics there appears to be sections of the white that are almost transparent. Secondly, Ae Ae always seem to produce leaves that are symmetrical and never heavily distorted like Tyoro pictures. I think this distortion of the leaves is usually attributed to the growth rate of the 2 different cells. It's also somewhat common on other heavily variegated white bananas also but Ae Ae seems to be free of this distortion even as a pup. ???
