Not true actually, though Gabe has asserted this. In one of Jeff Daniels' publications on bananas (Illustrated Guide to the Identification of Banana Varieties in the South Pacific), there are 3 different cultivars called "Misi Luki" in Samoa. One is Mysore, one is a Pome (the "Improved Lady Finger" of Australia, like Brazilian/Dwarf Brazilian), and one is Yangambi KM5. Note that none are Pisang Awak, which is what is sold as "Misi Luki" in the mainland US. So, to say "Misi Luki" only refers to Mysore in Samoa is false; though perhaps historically it was true, if the Pome and Yangambi were recently introduced.
