banana flower and fruits
Musa acuminata is classified by botanists as an herbaceous plant and an evergreen and a perennial, but not as a tree.
Both male and female flowers are present in a single inflorescence. Female flowers are located near the base (and develop into fruit), and the male flowers located at the tipmost top-shaped bud in between leathery bracts.
The rather slender fruits are berries, the size of each depends on the number of seeds they contain. Each fruit can have 15 to 62 seeds.
