The folks who write the Agristarts listings seem to have trouble with difference between species and cultivar. For example, they list "Musa 'Iterans'". The tags for my Kiwis say "Actinidia 'Chinensis' (Male)".

So when I saw Musa "Macklayi" listed, I did some searching and found the Russian article.
