Figs
Are these the same fruit referred to as figs in the Caribbean? 137.222.221.195 (talk) 02:33, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes and no. Bananas are not native to the Americas. All Bananas found in the American Continent, and Europe (and probably Africa) came from South/Southeast Asia and Oceania. So the cultivars known as 'figs' or 'figue' in the Carribean are actually still referring to hybrids and polyploid specimens of two kinds of wild bananas, Musa acuminata & Musa balbisiana.-- O BSIDIAN  †  S OUL  16:06, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

This article is not talking about anything specific at all.
It seems this originated from someone assuming that "Bananito" was the common name for Musa acuminata. Problem is, it's not. Bananito is simply Spanish for "small banana". The subject is unclear and garbled by the random usage of several cultivar names (Apple and Ladyfinger). We already have an article for Musa acuminata and banana. Same with Apple bananas and Lady Finger bananas.-- O BSIDIAN  †  S OUL  20:48, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
