The following reflect my present (1999) understanding of the current classification of bananas. Obviously there are still many doubts, not only in my mind but in the minds of most experts. There are minor linguistic doubts and major taxonomical doubts. These doubts will be even more obvious when one checks the names from the world literature on the subject. I have deliberately refrained from drawing perhaps obvious conclusions. Whenever a "?" appears, I have a doubt in either the vernacular name or the botanical name. I have listed some alternatives whenever I have found some in the literature. Any help would be most welcome.
