	Musa
		Musa is one of three genera in the family Musaceae; it includes bananas and plantains.
		Musa beccarii Simmonds is reported as having a chromosome number of x (= 1n) = 9 and 10, the latter due to multivalent formation during meiosis.
		It is probable that the Fe'i bananas derive mainly from Musa maclayi although their origins are not as well understood as the section Musa bananas.

	Musa (genus) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Musa species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Giant Leopard Moth and Hypercompe species including H.
		In the 1940s and 1950s it became clear that the cultivated bananas and plantains could not usefully be assigned Linnean binomials, but are better given cultivar names.
		Musa basjoo is the most cold hardy species of Musa, growing and fruiting successfully in outdoor cultivation in the British Isles and British Columbia.

	Musa X paradisiaca and Musa acuminata (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		NOMENCLATURAL NOTE: The edible bananas are derived from Musa acuminata Colla and crosses between it and M.
		The name Musa X paradisiaca Linnaeus refers specifically to a particular clone, the 'French Plantain', that is a cross of M.
		Thus Musa 'Mysore', which is a triploid with 2 sets of chromosomes from M.

		Musa laterita is a small section Rhodochlamys banana from north-eastern India usually flowering at about 1.5 m.
		Musa laterita suckers freely but the suckers are borne at the ends of long rhizomes.
		Musa laterita is suitable only for greenhouse or conservatory culture in the UK, where it is easily flowered in a 15 litre pot, but can be stood outside in filtered sunlight in the summer.

		All edible bananas orginate in whole or in part from Musa acuminata which is native to the Malay Peninsula and adjacent regions.
		Musa acuminata is a species native to the Malay Peninsula and adjacent regions and is thought to have given rise in total or in part to all edible banana varieties.
		Some of the varieties have arisen as a result of hybridisation between Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana the latter of which is found from India eastwards to the tropical Pacific.

	Plantains & Bananas
		It is also claimed that the great philosophers of our past sat in the shade of this tropical plant during their lectures.
		Hence, another family of this fruit is known as Musa Sapientum (Fruit of Knowledge).
		Both bananas and plantains belong to the family Musaceae, genus Musa Paradisiaca.

	[No title]
		The main group of edible bananas are derived from Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana.
		Therefore an alternate genome-based system for the nomenclature of the section Musa bananas was devised.
		Today there are many different cultivars with names such as Banana Musa - Williams, hybrid banana, which is one banana upon which the "Chiquita" name brand is used.

		At the very least, it is certainly something of hybrid origin and cultivated – the native distribution of edible Musa species is southeastern Asia to northern Australia.
		Agriculture / conservation resource link: Saving the Bottle Gourd from the New Agriculturist; Lagenaria siceraria is estimated to have been in cultivation for over ten thousand years, but indigenous knowledge of the plants is being lost with the use of plastic containers and changing diets.

	Pest Alerts - Red palm mite, DPI - FDACS
		In all instances, this mite has established itself on various palms (Arecaceae), with significant outbreaks on coconut palms, Cocos nucifera L. In addition, significant infestations have been observed on banana plants (Musa spp., Musaceae) in Dominica and Trinidad with additional infestations observed on undetermined heliconias and gingers.
		The explosive appearance of the red palm mite in the Caribbean Region is a serious pest risk for the subtropical areas of the United States, tropical Central and South America and the entire Caribbean Region.
		All palm species should be considered potential hosts for this mite until we have more data on the range of hosts in the Caribbean region.

		The Musaceae are large, often treelike perennial herbs comprising 2 genera and about 45 species.
		The leaves are alternate and very large, with the proximal concentric, appressed sheathing portions comprising a pseudotrunk from which the individual petioles and blades diverge.
		Notice the attractive large orange bracts in this species.

	Botany Photo of the Day: Musa velutina
		The specific epithet velutina means “velvety”, so I find myself in agreement with the common name used by the University of Connecticut EEB Conservatory: velvet pink banana.
		Speaking of names, it is unclear whether Musa velutina will retain its current name, or whether evidence will be gathered to support that this plant was first published as Musa dasycarpa Kurz.
		Simply put, the first validly published name is the name that is to be used in scientific discourse, despite Musa velutina being the name in use for over a century.
