Evaluation: The banana located near the access portal to the University of Barcelona differs visibly from its aligning congeners (similar in port) by the bark of the trunk and the base of the branches: markedly darkened, regularly cracked, monochrome exfoliable. During the vegetative period, differences in leaf and fruit form were observed, which differed from those of the species cultivated throughout Europe. Research work will need to elucidate the phenomenon and the virtual possibility of genetic transmission or fortuitous hybridization.
