Wild banana which is also known as "lengkik" by the ibans and "pisang kera" by the malays.
It is edible, but just that there are more seeds that flesh. The flesh is not as sweet as the regular bananas.
It is grown wild and abundance along the logging road tracks.
The stem is much smaller that ordinary banana and the leaves are not as flexible.
This subspecies is characterized by the yellowish tinge and virtual waxlessness of the foliage, by the intense chocolate brown pigmentation of sheaths and, often, midribs, by the fading purple flush on the peduncle.
