Default Re: What is Glui Kai?

Chong,
I have also read that reference. Those name equivalents are corroborated in the Musa Germplasm Information System and the literature at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University.

I have also noticed that just as Cavendish can refer to a subgroup or the original individual cultivar, Pisang Mas has the same usage. In particular I have repeatedly found:
Pisang Mas (subgroup) = Sucrier (subgroup).
