Anotations

Scope note:

Genus containing around 50 species of bananas and plantains. The tall plants resemble trees, but their stems are not woody, but rather comprising the bases of the huge leaf stalks. Several distinct groups of edible bananas have been developed from species of Musa. Valued primarily for edible fruit, but several types of valuable fibers are obtained from the leaves of banana plants. Banana paper is a handmade, decorative paper produced from the pulp of banana stalks.
