Comments	This is is most probably referable to a plant of the Cavendish Subgroup either Musa (AA group) 'Lakatan' or 'Lacatan' (Philippines) or Musa (AAA group) 'Lacatan' (American tropics). Referable to M. x sapientum according to Index Kewensis but if either of the above cultivars is correct then M. x sapientum is not correct and Musa acuminata could be used.
