Regular Cavendish, Grand Nain, Dwarf Cavendish, Williams Hybrid... and then when they get to the supermarket they are labeled as Chiquita, Dole or Del Monte bananas.

But then there are also plantains now sold, also the Red bananas.

If you visit Asian stores in California, we've got more: Saba, Senorita, Orinoco, Manzano, etc.
