Some earlier relevant feedback:

From another thread (SYMBIOSIS : 633): Fruits are full of seeds. The flower of this species is cooked as vegetable in Bengal (MOCHA GANTO). The flower (MOCHA) is sold in the market but the fruits are not very popular because of the seeds but fruits are sweet. - from Bimal ji

From another thread (SYMBIOSIS : 633):  Musa balbisiana ?- from Sabu ji

From another thread: It was clicked in a garden at Cooch Behar. It is very common at this place. Regards, Bimal
