English scientist Chesman divided genus Musa into 4 sections. Two of them - Callimusa and Rhodochlamys - include species of ornamental value. In section Australisirfia is Musa textilis L. (abacus), which has value as a spinning culture, as well as Musa fehi, which is grown only on the islands of the Pacific. This species is descended from the wild Musa macklayi, named after the famous Russian traveler N. Maclay, and has a short orange fruit. Other forms of edible bananas are included in the section Eumusa, there are about 10 species. Their natural range extends from the south of India and the Samoa Islands to Japan.
