How much information can you remember?

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:
