The Hutan banana is a wild banana from Borneo. It is slender and thin with a red-purple pseudostem (stem) and the leaves are white and waxy on the underside. The fruits are no larger than fingers, yellow and contain small seeds. It is still a fairly new species to grow as an ornamental plant. It grows in tropical regions, typically close to rivers. It therefore requires warmth, light and plenty of water during the growing season.

- The fruits are edible, but it is not recommended.
