Musa yunnanensis, also known as Yunnan banana or wild forest banana, is a newly discovered plant in the banana and plantain family that is native to Yunnan, China. It was first collected in 2005 in Xishuangbanna at an elevation of 1,150 meters. This plant is typically found in montane tropical forests and can tolerate shade and frost, but is sensitive to direct sunlight. It grows to a height of 5-5.25 meters and has a bluish wax coating on its bark and leaves. Musa yunnanensis is an important food source for local wildlife, including birds, bats, and possibly elephants, who consume its summer fruits.
