		A banana is a tree-like plant of the genus Musa in the family Musaceae, closely related to plantain.
		The term banana is also applied to the elongated fruit (technically a false berry), which grows (in edible species and varieties) in hanging clusters, several to many fruits to a tier (called a hand), many tiers to a bunch.
		In the 1940s and 1950s, an urban legend about bananas involved tarantulas arriving in the neighborhood hidden among the hands of the banana bunch (the idea that exotic spiders can arrive with bananas appears to be not completely a myth however, see external link for an instance in the UK in 2003).
