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. In most treatments, the family has three genera, Musa, Musella and Ensete.[4] Cultivated bananas are commercially important members of the family, and many others are grown as ornamental plants.
