Here is a list of seeds ive tried (that I can remember) and sprouted if noted.

Musa monticola
Musa violascens
Musa gracilis
Musa ingens
Musa lawitiensis
Musa campestris var. lawasensis
Musa campestris var. limbangensis
Musa rubinea
Musa cheesmani (sprouted)
Musa sikkimensis (sprouted)
Musa yunnanensis
Musa thomsonii
Musa itinerans var. xishuangbannaensis
Musa nagensium x
Musa beccarii
Musa textilis
Musa velutina (sprouted)
Musa laterita
Musa balbisiana (sprouted)
Musa ingens var.??? (sprouted)
Musa 'New Bhutan'
Musa 'Royal Purple'
Ensete 'Thai superbum' (sprouted)
Ensete ventricosum
Ensete glaucum
Ensete superbum (sprouted)
Ensete perrierii

more seeds I will soon be trying are...

Musa beccarii var. hottana
different Musa balbisiana varieties
different Musa yunnanensis varieties
Musa nagensium
Musa balbisiana x velutina

The best success for me has been just planting seeds in moist sphagnum and putting them in a warm, well lit place. Without even soaking the seeds, I got 100% M. balbisiana germination, 100% M. velutina germination, and so far 50% M. ingens 'unknown variety thing' germination.
