The Musa acuminata part should be left off and not used, and normally its 'Super Dwarf Cavendish', because its not a super Cavendish in any way, its just more dwarf than the regular dwarf, so its called 'Super Dwarf'. The most scientifically correct way to write it would be something along the lines of Musa (AAA) 'Super Dwarf Cavendish', but for all practical reasons Musa 'Super Dwarf Cavendish' is just fine, or just 'Super Dwarf' as we all know what that means, or if you are posting in the forums, SDC seems to be a fairly popular acronym as well.
