Musaceae is a family of flowering plants composed of three genera with about 91 known species, [3] placed in the order Zingiberales. The family is native to the tropics of Africa and Asia. The plants have a large herbaceous growth habit with leaves with overlapping basal sheaths that form a pseudostem making some members appear to be woody trees.

Distribution of Musaceae: The family is commonly known as Banana family. It is a small family comprising of 2 genera and 42 species by Willis and 5 genera and 150 species by Lawrence and 6 genera and 225 species by de Wit (1965).

Musaceae, the banana family of plants (order Zingiberales), consisting of 2 genera, Musa and Ensete, with about 50 species native to Africa, Asia, and Australia. The common banana (M. sapientum) is a subspecies of the plantain (M. paradisiaca).

Musa is one of three genera in the family Musaceae. The genus includes 83 species of flowering plants producing edible bananas and plantains, and fiber (abacá), used to make paper and cloth. [2][3] Though they grow as high as trees, banana and plantain plants are not woody and their apparent "stem" is made up of the bases of the huge leaf stalks.

Musaceae includes only 2 genera (Musa and Ensete) and 81 species. The members of this family are mainly wet tropical lowlands from West Africa to Pacific (southern Japan to Queensland). (Musa is the most common plant of the family found in India).

Musaceae is a small family comprises on six genera (Strelitzia, Ravenala, Musa, Orchidantha, Ensete and Heliconia) and 130 species whereas some phanerogamists recognize Musaceae comprises only on two genera Musa and Ensete.

The Musaceae are a family of flowering plants in the order Zingiberales. The family is native to the tropics of the Old World. The plants are large herbs with very big leaves; the lower parts of the leaves form a false stem so they look as trees.

The Musaceae family, also known as the banana family, is a group of flowering plants that includes more than 70 species. They are primarily grown for their fruit, which is a major food source in many parts of the world.
