Pisang Ceylon isn't exactly Mysore. It is a clone in the Mysore group that doesn't have Banana Streak Virus. In other words, it is fair to say that Pisang Ceylon is a Mysore banana, but any old Mysore banana is not necessarily Pisang Ceylon.

I'd avoid equating "Sugar" with Ducasse. It may be used that way, but Sugar I think more commonly refers to Sucrier ("Baby Banana"), which is not related to Ducasse.

Pisang Awak is the subgroup that contains Ducasse.

Red Dacca = Red, which some people call Jamaican red.
