Re: Indonesian Pisang
Hi there,
As many edible bananas are hybrids of mixed composition and ploidy, they cannot be given specific latin names. They are referred to by the genus (Musa) followed by the their genome and (if any) sub-groupings.
P. Batu = BB
P. Masak Hijau = AAA (Cavendish sub-group) = 'Lacatan' (western tropics)
P. Ketip = AAB
P. Mas = AA (Sucrier subgroup)
P. Raja = AAB (Pisang Raja subgroup)
P. Susu = AAB *similar to 'Silk'/'Apple' banana
Cheers
