Default Re: Banana from Fairchild

It does look rather M. balbisiana like, and I know they had both M. balbisiana var. liukiuensis as well as a more standard form, so I suppose it could be one of those. They had a few M. acuminata which it doesn't look like at all, nor does it look like a Rhodochlamys. You know how it goes...keep checking back and hopefully one day we can nail it down.
