… , nice shot. But regarding species ID, I think it is Musa aurantiaca<\/i> Baker, M. sikkimensis<\/i> is entirely different one.<\/p>\n

Thanks for your comments! I may be wrong but my plant also not completely matching with the description of M. aurantiaca<\/i>. There are differences in habit, leaf characters, petiole size, inflorescence characters and bracts. Attaching a PDF and some more pictures for your kind perusal. Hope we can find its correct identity.<\/div>\n

It is Musa aurantica<\/i> for sure.<\/div>\n
I got the confirmation from Prof. M. Sabu (Presently revising the family Musaceae<\/i> in India)<\/p>\n
