Golden Lotus Banana is useful, just not for eating.   Strangely it’s a close relative of banana, but not edible in the same way.   The underground stem (rhizome) is eaten as a vegetable, its flower is used for honey and it is sometimes fermented for wine making.   Its leaves are used as pig fodder and weaving material, and it has several medicinal uses.
