Musaceae is an ancient family under the order Zingiberales and it consists of three genera, i.e. Musa L., Ensete Horan. and Musella (Franch) H. W. Li1,2. Initially in India only Enset superbum (Roxb.) Cheesman was reported from Western Peninsular region in the early 1960s3,4. However, Joe5 revised the Indian Musaceae by reporting 41 wild taxa (39 of which are of Musa and 2 are Ensete). Enset glaucum has a conical stem and green persistent bracts. Hence it is a plant with great ornamental potential6, and is grown as an ornamental or decorative plant in most states of North East India.
