Talk:Petiole (botany)

Musa / Banana
I read on Musa_(genus) that “some reaching up to 9 m (30 ft) in height or 18 m (59 ft) in the case of Musa ingens. The large herb is composed of a modified underground stem (rhizome), a false trunk of tightly rolled petioles” - would this not make the petioles of a musa ingens the longest there are? 20040302 (talk) 09:39, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
