Musa velutina H.Wendl. & Drude, Gartenflora 24: 65 1875. (Syn: Musa dasycarpa Kurz); E. Himalaya to Assam as per WCSP; Assam; Costa Rica; East Himalaya; Myanmar; Puerto Rico as per Catalogue of Life; The omnipresent plantain tree While in Miao, we came across the plantain tree- both wild and cultivated, some of them with clusters of red fruits, some tall and some tiny, almost dwarf-like in different locations - the forest path, hill slopes, beside streams - they seemed to be everywhere. Take a look at these pics which should give you some idea about picturesque Miao with its dense greenery, swiftly flowing river and unique bio-diversity. Miao, Arunachal Pradesh 19-23 Jul 2010 I think it is red banana on the first photo , if i am not wrong Yes ..., the pink banana is Musa velutina
