Banana synonyms

Ok, I'm getting sick of this banana naming confusion. You Californians talk about Dwarf Brazilian, only yesterday did I find out this is the banana I know as Santa Catarina Prata, the female parent of Goldfinger. And I've only just realised that Dwarf Bluggoe and Chacho enano are the same as Dwarf Orinoco.

Does anyone have a list of banana names, to save all this confusion? Or if not, maybe we should all get together and make one up?

Ben, I findly found it, a old CRFG Pub.

I finely found the banana genetic list I was looking for online. It was appearently a in a past CRFG publication; here is the link for anyone else too.

Yes, it does show Apple/Hawaiian Apple/Brazilian/ Pome/Triploid Hybrid (AAB), primary plantation banana in Hawaii.
Shows dwarf comparable to name sake above, but only 6-8 feet tall. See link below.
