Scientific Name: – Musa X paradisiaca

Musa í„ paradisiaca is the accepted name for the hybrid between Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana. Most cultivated bananas and plantains are triploid cultivars either of this hybrid or of M. Śćacuminata. Linnaeus originally used the name M. Śćparadisiaca only for plantains or cooking bananas, but the modern usage includes hybrid cultivars used both for cooking and as dessert bananas.
