Nice one!

The pseudostem even has the yellowish coloration near the top that M. balbisiana does, and I have considered that. The black line where the petioles clasp the pseudostem are characteristic of M. balbisiana too. The leaves are just way too upright for M. balbisiana though. Perhaps a hybrid of M. balbisiana and M. textilis?
Thanks!
