Default Re: rio and rimama bananas in Tahiti

I found similar informarion, 'Rio' is 'Brazilian' (or close to it), but couldn't find any info on a 'Rimama', however I did find a 'Rimarima', but cannot find any subgroup info on it or anything else. However, from the photos and lack of notes, it looks to be something that was brought in more recently, and not a traditional banana cultivar.
