Very unlikely it is a species, but rather a hybrid. If the bananas are seedless (edible), then it is definitely a hybrid.

It is certainly Feral, bananas originated in the vicinity of Burma long before people were there. Sometime after 1526 edible bananas were brought to the Americas for cultivation.
