Musa acuminata

Musa acuminata 'Dwarf Cavendish', Dwarf Banana

This is not a palm. Bananas are a monocotyledonous family of plants (Musaceae), that are closer to the grasses and have nothing to do with palms. From a botanical point of view, these are giant grasses. They develop a strong underground root mass called rhizome.
