Default Re: species from mts of northern viet nam

I did a little reading, and found that it may be musa paracoccinea. Check the link, and see if the description matches. I can't translate the top part, but I think that I could make out that the inflorescence of musa splendida is pendulous (inlorescencia pendula). It's written in French. The bottom part of the description states that musa paracoccinea has a stiff, upright inflorescence, unlike musa splendida. It is also native to northern Vietnam.

Did you get one, Hayes??
