Aarti ji, this is not Poovan type.  Poovan is always yellow in color.  This is some hybrid variety.

Regards,

Mani.

These again are available in Tamil Nadu, but more in Kerala. This is not Poovan variety. (I will try to post pics of Poovan) Locally it's called Sevvaalai (the 'l' pronounced with the 'twist of the tongue 'zh' sound) meaning 'red banana'. Jency Chennai --- On Mon, 3/1/11, Aarti S.

I FIRST BROUGHT THIS banana from \kerala asan item of curiosity for my children decades ago from Kerala where it is available in plenty. But taste wise it is not so good. Some other yellow varieties are sweeter and have better fragrance.

Friends, here is a link that gives the local names. Actually, when
fully ripe, this is very sweet.

A reply from Mahadeswara ji:

"Looks like Cheng Kathali  variety of banana.This variety is also sold in Chennai in a few stores.  I remember to  have seen this variety in Indian stores in California and elsewhere in US also .   It is better if you refer to Wealth of India, published by CSIR to confirm the variety.  I do not have access to this book here. "
