Last year I did some research on cultivar names and synonyms. There is more consensus among publications of the last 2 decades than in prior years. Here's what I came up with, although I don't claim it to be 100% correct or the last word on the subject:

• Apple Banana of Africa: synonym of Manzano, genetics AAB in the Pome group.
• Apple Banana of India: synonym of a Mysore, genetics AAB in the Mysore group.
• Brazilian: an AAB cultivar of the Pome group.
• Manzano: an AAB cultivar of the Pome group.
• Pome: an entire subgroup with AAB genetics that includes: 1000 Fingers, Brazilian, Dwarf Brazilian, Dwarf Ladyfinger, Golden Pillow, Kalela, Lady Finger, Manzano.
• Silk: an entire subgroup with AAB genetics that includes: Latundan, Maca, Rasthali.

and for good measure:

• Mysore: an entire subgroup with AAB genetics that includes: Belle, Chini Champa, Kappa Pazham, Karpuravalli, Kathali, Kluai Nom Sawan, Kunnan, Mysore (a specific cultivar), Nendran, Pisang Ceylon, Rajapuri, Safet Velchi, Walha.
