Musa religiosa, Dybowski. Whole plant about 8 ft. high, forming a true bulb like M. Gilletii, 2-2 ½ in. diam., but differing in having roots from the whole bulb instead of from the top of the bulb only: lvs. glaucous, oblong-lanceolate or elliptic, mucronate pointed, dying down, the bulb going through a resting- period: fls. undescribed: fr. full of seeds, inedible; seeds smooth, black, brown or gray. French Congo. R.H. 1901, pp. 157, 158.— The lvs. are thick and not easily broken by the wind. Considered by some to be more ornamental than M. Ensete. Intro, into U. 3. about 1908.
