Dear all,

I am not in a position to find about the status of seed since it was in India and I am in Nepal now.

I just took pictures.

Thank you

Naming a cultivated taxon is very difficult unless we get full details about the flowers and fruits. 

Based on the available literature regarding the nomenclatural history and naming of banana (Musa cultivars) it is concluded that, all cultivars derived from the pure M. acuminata (AA, AAA, etc) and M. balbisiana (BB, BBB, etc) lines can be treated under their respective parents and all others (hybrids of M. acuminata and M. balbisiana) can be denoted as Musa × paradisiaca L.

List of Musa cultivars in South India

1.     Musa acuminata Colla (AA) ‘Kadali’

2.     Musa acuminata Colla (AA) ‘Karivazhai’

3.     Musa acuminata Colla (AA) ‘Pisang lilin’
