I know, it's so difficult. Two totally different sources way more informed that I will ever be state very different things. But I guess with so many different varieties, some is still inevitably a guess, or just due to variation in climate and soil. My pictures for this plant don't show it well, but they definitely have wide open petiole wings, much like the one Gabe said he thought was a GM. I think microclimates and soil must be big factors, even within Hawaii. Where I live gets half the rain of Hilo, but 10 times the amount of the Kohala coast, all on the same island! And where I am has no soil at all, so everything seems to grow a bit less than the normal height.

Here are the others that Gabe thought was GM.
