these 2 are easily distinguished by leaf pattern, midrib shape and fruit characteristics.
now there is a bunch of new variegated varieties coming out of the asias also though so its about to get even more confusing. Although many new ones seem to have more of a yellow/green color than the above mentioned varieties.

to be clear Ae'Ae and Florida should never be used together in a banana name as they are completely different varieties.
Thank you! You legend
