Banana cultivar

This article is about a banana cultivar. For other uses, see Lady finger Lady Finger bananas (also known as sugar bananas, fig bananas, or date bananas) are diploid cultivars of Musa acuminata. They are small, thin skinned, and sweet.

Taxonomy and nomenclature [ edit ]

The Lady Finger banana is a diploid (AA) cultivar of the seeded banana Musa acuminata.[2] They were once placed under the Sucrier group in the old system of classification.[3]

Its official designation is Musa (AA) 'Lady Finger'.

Synonyms include:

Musa acuminata Colla (AA Group) cv. 'Sucrier'

(AA Group) cv. 'Sucrier' Musa acuminata Colla (Sucrier Group) cv. 'Lady's Finger'

(Sucrier Group) cv. 'Lady's Finger' Musa × paradisiaca L. cv. 'Lady Finger'

'Bocadillo' They are known in English as lady finger bananas, sugar bananas, finger bananas, fig bananas, date bananas, or sucrier. The Malaysian name is pisang mas or, pisang emas. Similarly, in Cambodia, it is referred to as chek pong moan (Khmer: ចេកពងមាន់), lit. 'chicken-egg banana', where it is considered the national fruit of Cambodia by royal decree.[4] In Venezuela, they are known as cambures titiaros. In Ecuador, this fruit is called "guineo orito" or, simply, "orito".[5][6]. Besides, several exporters and importers use different commercial names.[7][8][9] In Australia, the name 'lady finger banana' refers to another banana cultivar, the Pachanadan, of the Pome banana sub-group (Musa acuminata × balbisiana Colla (AAB Group) cv. 'Pome'). In Hawaii and the West Indies, 'lady finger' is also used to describe the Ney Poovan banana cultivar (Musa acuminata × balbisiana Colla (AB Group) cv. 'Ney Poovan').[2] Despite their resemblance, the Lady Finger banana must not be confused with the totally different cultivar Latundan banana which is a bit larger and has a sweet-sour taste.[5] (page 25 of the document or, 11 according to index); or, with Señorita banana, that has a bit larger and pointier end tip. "Señorita" is a word (used as an independent noun; as a title it is written "Srta.") in Spanish used to refer to a single young woman, the correct translation of which is "maiden"; but, if incorrectly translated as "lady", it might make people get confused about these varieties of banana.
