Default Re: Musa x paradisiaca

It could also be just Musa balbisiana. As was said before, it is not a real plant, it was indeed the first plant described, but since it was not a species it now a "type name" which simply means banana, like Musa paradisiaca=Musa=banana plant. If you post a picture of the seeds when you get it, we can help identify, Musa balbisiana has very distinct seeds. I think sometimes people take the word of seed dealers as truth, when most of the time they are very incorrect.
