Re: Botanical names of Praying Hands
Below are two scientifically accurate names for the cultivars you mentioned. Edible banana taxonomy does not conform to Linnean binomials, and as of now there is no standardization for cultivar names, so many synonyms are around but all are generally accepted. The portion in parentheses indicates the genome constitution and subgroup designation.
Musa (ABB Saba) 'Praying Hands' Musa (AAB Pisang Kelat) '1000 Fingers' Other common names for '1000 Fingers' include 'Pisang Seribu' and 'Kluai Roi Wi', and 'Praying Hands' is also known as 'Bendetta' and 'Ripping', though both cultivars have many other synonyms as well.

Re: Botanical names of Praying Hands
Many thanks Gabe do you have a full list for all cultivatiors that is set out like that as places like Banana Research centres need the full name to know if they have it.
Please also confirm saba is praying hands or praying hands just belong to saba subgroup?  Quote:

Re: Botanical names of Praying Hands
Just to make it more confusing, Saba and Praying Hands are similar in look, texture and taste. Also, Praying Hands sometimes produces bunches where the fruit are not fused, and then they look exactly like Saba.
