It wouldn't be the only one they have mislabelled and would explain why Pitangadiego says their Williams is different from the others he's grown. |
This one looks like 'Grand Nain' or 'Dwarf Cavendish', a little hard to tell for sure without seeing it up close. 'Grand Nain' is essentially a large 'Dwarf Cavendish', and 'Williams' a somewhat shorter tall Cavendish. If you translate directly from the French, "Grand Nain" means "giant dwarf".
