Graph showing numbers of species in the three genera* of MUSACEAE and map showing their distribution:
Musella
Ensete
Musa
*The specific numbers of species comprising these three genera varies in different sources; hence this type of graph gives a general idea of how many species constitute each genera.
Characteristics of one species of each genera:
Species
Ensete Ventricosum
Musa Velutina
Musella Lasiocarpa
Characteristics:
