Re: Musa macklayi
When comparing plants, whats different about them is often more important than whats similar. If you notice, your plant is waxy and has a reddish hue on the pseudostem, these are very important descriptors which can distinguish different varieties of banana. Color can change depending on conditions and sunlight levels (but M. maclayi or M. jackeyi should not show those colors in any conditions), but waxyness is a rather unaffected trait.
