Recently, our scientists have discovered a new and distinct species of banana plant which attains a height of about 11 metres and has orange-coloured fruit pulp. In which part of India has it been discovered?
Detailed Explanation:
The Musa indandamanensis, a new banana species reaching 11 meters in height with distinctive orange fruit pulp, was discovered by the Botanical Survey of India (BSI) in the tropical rainforests of Little Andaman Island.
This species is unique for its green flowers, large fruit bunch axis (three times normal size), cylindrical flowers (instead of conical), and orange pulp—making the Andaman Islands the correct answer.
