Please note that the article is not about a specific group of Musa cultivars, e.g. the Plantain Group. I would prefer that it was, but it isn't. It's about all bananas used in cooking, which do not all belong to the AAB genome group, so changing the infobox to this isn't correct.
Musa × paradisiaca is the currently accepted name for all Musa acuminata × Musa balbisiana hybrids; see e.g. the WCSP entry. (There are some more taxonomy refs in the Banana article and in the Musa species articles.) It's therefore not "antiquated"; using it to refer only to plantains is indeed out of date, but not using it for all hybrids. Peter coxhead (talk) 19:04, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
- It would be useful to have your comments at Talk:Plantain#The topic of this article (again). Peter coxhead (talk) 13:15, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
- The article is now split into plantain (true) and plantain (cooking). This should clear up everyone's concerns. You may get as technical as you want in describing the cultivar subgroups. Read parts of the talk page to understand there is no clear botanical distinction for any banana used in cooking. You're welcome to make these edits in the botanical classifications.
