Joy Re: Musa acuminata subsp malaccensis - Grandaddy of edible 'naners

Yo Mark! Glad you enjoy my ramblings.
Ok mate, let's recap on the 4 species found in Peninsular M'sia;

M-acuminata subsp malaccensis - All over the country!

M-violascens - Only along the Western part of the peninsular. From North to South.

M-acuminata subsp truncata - On the Central highlands of the Malaysian Main Range. This mountain strip max at about 10,000asl acts as a divider.

M-gracilis - Certain areas of the Eastern side of the peninsular. So far from the info I gathered from the locals, the Purple color form is rarer than the White form.

So far I have done Threads on 3 of them and I can't wait for the rains to clear so I can go and nail the 2 color forms of the M-gracilis on the Eastern side.
