Default Musa 'Topo' information?

I purchased a banana this season which I thought was Musa 'Rajapuri'. When I went to plant the banana in the ground I found a tag next to the corm reading Musa 'Topo'. I googled for hours and couldnt find anything but a listing in a species list.

After hours of searching, I thought maybe it was spelled wrong and the tag should have read "Musa 'Tapo'". After searching for hours and not finding any pictures of Musa 'Tapo'. The only clue online was the fact Musa 'Siam Ruby' is a sport of Musa tapo.

Help...

I can rule out that it is Musa 'tapo'. This banana has no red foliage. Any information about Musa 'TOPO'?

Angry Re: Musa 'Topo' information?

Mediahound's species list is the only information I could find online as well. I sent him a message, but no response yet. Musa 'Topo' must be a rare banana.
