Description


It grows lush leaves in clumps with a more upright habit than most cultivated bananas. Flowers grow in inflorescences coloured red to maroon. The fruit are between blue and green. They are considered inedible because of the seeds they contain.


Taxonomy


It was first scientifically described in 1820 by the Italian botanist Luigi Aloysius Colla.[4]


Distribution


It is native to eastern South Asia, the eastern regions of the Indian subcontinent, northern Southeast Asia, and southern China. Introduced populations exist in the wild, far outside its native range.[5]


Uses


It is assumed that wild bananas were cooked and eaten, as farmers would not have developed the cultivated banana otherwise.[6] Seeded Musa balbisiana fruit are called butuhan ('with seeds') in the Philippines,[7] and kluai tani (กล้วยตานี) in Thailand,[8] where its leaves are used for packaging and crafts.[9] Natural parthenocarpic clones occur through polyploidy and produce edible bananas, examples of which are wild saba bananas.[10]

[es] Musa balbisiana

El plátano rosado[1] (Musa balbisiana), también denominado plátano macho o simplemente plátano, es una planta tropical de la familia de las musáceas (de origen indomalayo), uno de los progenitores de la banana o plátano comercial, Musa × paradisiaca. Hoy la inmensa mayoría de los ejemplares plantados para obtener fruto proceden de alguna variedad cultivar obtenida por hibridación de M. acuminata y M. balbisiana, pero esta última se cultiva aún. En las islas Ryukyu del Japón se utiliza por la fibra textil obtenida de sus hojas, con el nombre de ito-basho.
