What is the scientific name of the common banana?

Please help

What is the scientific name of the common banana?
the bananas we eat aren't really their own species. They've been produced by hybridization of many different wild banana species. All bananas are the the genus Musa, but you can't really assign a species to the ones we buy at the store.
Reply:The bananas commonly available are cultivars of Musa acuminata.
