The '''Chinese dwarf banana''' ('''''Ensete lasiocarpum'''''), also known as the '''golden lotus banana''', is a plant of the ''[[Ensete]]'' genus. It is thus a close relative of bananas, and also a member of the [[Musaceae]] family. The plant is native to the [[Yunnan province]] in [[China]], where it grows high in the mountains up to an altitude of 2500 m. It is known for its yellow erect flower (see image), generally appearing during the second year of cultivation, that can last a few months. Just before opening, the flower resembles a [[lotus (plant)|lotus]] - from which the plant gets one of its names.

In 1841, the [[United States Department of Agriculture]] introduced Chinese dwarf cooking-bananas to [[Florida]], but there was little interest among consumers at the time.<ref>Virginia Scott Jenkins: "Bananas: An American History", Smithsonian Institution Press (ISBN 1-56098-966-1), p. 6</ref>
