It's confusing - there are Cavendish - the Super Dwarf, the Dwarf and what else? Robusta and Giant Cavendish? Any others? And then there are cavendish, desert bananas - at least, that's how I've always understood it. As far as I know the Orinoco is a cavendish (desert) banana.

Unless they fall under a different group. What group? What the Gros Michel is in? Funny how that is not considered a cavendish yet the cav is very close to it.

And I certainly don't mind if I'm wrong, of course, ha ha. Someone let me know I'm wrong! I'm not here to shout hollow.
