Musa itinerans, also known as the Yunnan banana, is a type of banana that is not only consumed for its fruit, but also for its tender inner stalk. This species has recently been added to Kew Gardens' Millennium Seed Bank Project, making it the 24,200th plant species to be saved. This project has now collected 10% of the world's wild plant species. In China, the Yunnan banana is a significant food source for wild Asian elephants.
