Plantlets are produced at the leaves

http://www.plantzafrica.com/plantnop/nymphindic.htm Nymphoides indica
New plants are formed all the time where the floating stolons (above-ground, modified stems) form tufted plantlets along their lengths. The mother plant has a short, thick stem which is rooted in the mud at the bottom of the pond. In its natural habitat the plant may be subject to periods where the water may dry up, in this case it forms roots at the nodes to help it survive.
However, one can also divide it by cutting the stolons between the tufts and removing the plantlets to the new pond or allowing them to root in soil if not already rooted. Propagation can also be done by seed, although division is by far the easiest method.

They didn't produce seeds for me, rather the new set of "bananas" were actually roots formed by an adventitious shoot that emerged at the point where the flowers had previously arisen.
I've seen them for sale at a pet shop in Auckland for NZ$9.95 (~US$6) for basically a (floating) leaf which has a few roots developing a couple of inches beneath it.
we left the floating leaf with it's ~10in of trailing stem floating. It started to grow roots from the snipped end, and then began growing submersed leaves from two points by the roots. The moral of the story is, if a relatively small floating leaf can produce two new plants, perhaps larger leaves could repeatedly have developing plantlets separated, making for pretty fast banana plant propagation.
The first way I reproduced it: Take a floating leaf. After it's been at the surface for a few days, clip the stem about 4 inches below the leaf, and let the leaf and it's attached piece of stem float. After several days, roots will form at the end of the stem attached to the leaf. Let the roots develop for a few days, then you can snip the leaf off the stem with it's new roots, and plant the stem/roots. It won't have a banana bunch, but it grows just like any other banana plant.

Propagation:
Sexually by seeds that fall off the flowers on the surface after ripening.
Asexually, most frequently, via vegetative splitting from separated leaves or cuttings (leaves with flowers will produce roots).
