Default Re: Musa Nepal?

Sikkimensis grown from the same batch of seeds can show great variation. Some are more red, some ar all green, some have alot of wax, some have no wax, some have dark blotches on the stems, some don't.

That's basically the root of the problem with these species-bananas: "Wich are forms of polymorphism* in wild musas, and wich are distinct species?"




*Polymorphism in biology occurs when two or more clearly different phenotypes exist in the same population of a species — in other words, the occurrence of more than one form or morph.
