Musa jackeyi |
Musa jackeyi (commonly called the Johnstone River banana [3]) is a species of wild banana ( genus Musa) in the banana family (Musaceae). It is placed in section Callimusa (now including the former section Australimusa). [4] It has only a small native range in north-east Queensland, Australia. It is the second tallest banana species after Musa ingens, having petioles (stalks) up to 33 ft (10 m) in height, topped by laminae (blades) 14.5 ft (4.4 m) long by 2 ft (61 cm) in width, for a total height of up to 47.5 ft (14.5 m). [5] It resembles the cultivated bananas called " fe'i" or "fehi", having an upright rather than a drooping fruit stalk, with the green terminal bud pointing upwards, and sap which is reddish in colour.
