NOTE
The use of binomials has been applied to Musa cultivars, giving the
wrong impression for them to be real species. In this treatment, we
follow Simmonds (571) by using a system that employs groups of letters
to describe the genome of these sterile diploid or triploid cultivars. The
name Musa acuminata Colla applies to both sterile diploid and triploid
groups.
