Re: musa vittata
It is an old, outdated name for 'Aeae', there is no difference. Some photos in those old books (like Exotica) show a narrow leafed plant but it is just because they are young pups.

Re: musa vittata
There is a lot of misinformation in that book, it should not be used as a reference for anything to do with naming, taxonomy or genetics.
