The white wax in the petioles identifies this as a mistake made by alot of buyers selling banana plants. Looking on Achim's website further verifies the identity with relatively close pictures. Cut a leaf off and see if it bleeds white or clear watery sap. Musa itinerans var. xishuangbannensis has red watery sap.

I would have remembered if it was bleeding red watery sap. It didn't! Thank You for identifying mine as M. yuannanensis.
