Default Re: Help me identify

I don't think it's Ornata, they have more wimpy petioles, and some almost flower at that size. The reason the plant looks skinny is because it's stretching for light, beeing grown inside.

I would think it's either Musa Balbisiana (highly likely if they had seed trials or similar in the respective biology class) or some kind of plantain. Take this with a big pinch of salt though, I am looking at the general leaf shape and prescence of wax. Looks just like my Saba.
