Musa lolodensis
Fairchild's Loloda Banana is a wild banana species from the Moluccas and New Guinea that can reach about 7 m tall, with a rigid, upright pseudostem. It is a wild relative of the Fe'i bananas and is grown mainly in warm, wet tropical gardens.
Musa lolodensis is a species of wild banana (genus Musa), occurring naturally from the Moluccas through to New Guinea. It is placed in section Callimusa (now including the former section Australimusa), having a diploid chromosome number of 2n = 20. It is one of the possible parents of the cultivated Fe'i bananas.
Musa lolodensis is native to Indonesia (in Halmahera of the Moluccas, and Papua) and northwestern Papua New Guinea.
