There is only one Musa ornata, and it has pink/purple bracts and green immature fruit. All of the other plants called "M. ornata" are either other species or man-made hybrids.
The names should be written as (for example) Musa 'Milky Way', as they are cultivars which do not originate from a single species. Musa ornata is a valid species, and making a hybrid with it does not mean all of the offspring are different forms of M. ornata, they are hybrids, many of them of unknown origin/pedigree.
