True Musa nagensium has white seeds. Musa flaviflora is not well known and is not found in the wild anymore, or if it is, it is very rare. Also, I dont know if it matters, but Musa thomsonii has no "P", its just M. thomsonii. In some of the literature it is equated with a "Musa thomsoni" (King 1929), but these 2 plants are intirely different. It is also possible that the M. flaviflora being sold is some Rhodochlamys x Eumusa cross plant.
