Almost all cultivated varieties of bananas are hybrids of two banana species called Musa acuminata (native to Southeast Asia) and Musa balbisiana (native to Southern China).
Musa acuminata is a species of banana native to Southeast Asia. Musa balbisiana is a wild-type species of banana native to eastern South Asia, northern Southeast Asia, and southern China. Almost all modern edible seedless (parthenocarp) bananas come from two wild species  Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana. The scientific names of most cultivated bananas are Musa acuminata, Musa balbisiana, and Musa  paradisiaca for the hybrid Musa acuminata  M. balbisiana, depending on their genomic constitution.
