Banana plants (Musa paradaisica) and banana peels (Musa sapientum) two of same genus Musa are grown in worldwide and consumed as ripe fruit or used for culinary purpose. All parts of the banana plants have medicinal applications.

These two types of samples banana plants and banana peels were collected from local area of sobhanbagh near Daffodil International University.
