So they named a banana Texas Star?

How original.

Like the Florida/Alabama/Georgia swamp mallow (Hibiscus coccineus) they named Texas Star?

Musa 'Bordelon' is named after 'first being discovered' in Bordelonville, LA. But it's not from there, of course. I'm guessing just like everything else in Louisiana, the banana was named after a town that was named after or in honour of someone from Europe, usually France.
