Re: musa vittata

It is an old, outdated name for 'Aeae', there is no difference. Some photos in those old books (like Exotica) show a narrow leafed plant but it is just because they are young pups.

Re: musa vittata

Thanks for the info Gabe15.The banana is mentioned in [Bananas you can grow] it says the plant is not available commercially and has narrower leaves.

Re: musa vittata

There is a lot of misinformation in that book, it should not be used as a reference for anything to do with naming, taxonomy or genetics.
