varig8

As I am finding out, there are several banana variegates that look identical in coloration, patterning, and type of variegation to the Aeae. The one that is under the name of "Florida" seems to grow shorter and much thinner, but, it does have pink coloration along the petioles, and I have seen several other AeAe throughout the years that exhibit this. Seems to vary somewhat from plant to plant, Id think the most obvious reason could be the amount of light they are grown in. Some variegates are highly unstable and can vary greatly in appearance and growing conditions can also change the appearance. I have one sold to me as RoxB with almost identical variegation to the Aeae but this pink/red coloration along the midrib, on the petioles, and on the P-stem, is very obvious.
