All hello! At me the plant which I have bought as Musa paradisiaca grows. It from seeds is grown up. But the name of plant Musa paradisiaca, does not correspond to a concrete kind. I try to define that at me have grown. A plant interesting enough, with strongly pronounced signs of difference from other plants. I have made the analysis and have decided that this plant approaches to version Musa acuminata. Having seen all available the literature, I have defined it as Musa acuminata ssp. malaccensis (Selangor). But it is a pity that about Musa acuminata it is not enough literature and photos too. Here the short description of a version:
Musa acuminata ssp. malaccensis (Selangor).
