A banana is a monocotyl (single seed lobed) and belongs taxonomically to the genus Musa and is the largest herbaceous plant in the world. The leaves are in a spiral. The most commonly grown group variety Cavendish can grow up to more than three meters high and the Musa species ingens even up to twelve meters high. The plant makes a phantom trunk of overlapping, wing-like broadened petioles, which is why it is also referred to as a banana tree. The sham stem of Musa ingens can reach a size of three meters.
