Musella lasiocarpa, also known as Chinese dwarf banana, golden lotus banana, or Chinese yellow banana, is a unique plant that is the only species in its genus. It is closely related to bananas and belongs to the Musaceae family. This plant is native to the Chinese provinces of Sichuan, Guizhou, and Yunnan, where it grows at high altitudes of up to 2500 meters. It is known for its tall, yellow pseudostems that resemble lotus flowers and can last for a few months. Musella lasiocarpa has received the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit under its synonym Musa lasiocarpa. While it can be grown outdoors, it requires protection from freezing temperatures.
