Fossil seeds of Ensete, a genus presently native to Asia and Africa, were recovered from the middle Eocene of Oregon, confirming the presence of Musaceae in the North American Tertiary.
The seed of E. oregonense is operculate, with a well-defined micropylar collar, a pronounced chalazal chamber and a wide hilar cavity.
Although the Musaceae are currently native only to the Old World tropics, this discovery establishes that the family was present in North America about 43 million years ago.

 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.
