[2] Latundan banana plants typically reach a height of 3-4 meter (10-13 feet).

The fruits are round-tipped with thin yellow skin that splits once fully ripe.

They are smaller than the Lacatan cultivar and the commercially dominant Cavendish bananas.

[5] In older classifications, the Latundan cultivar was once the plant referred to as Musa sapientum.

[7] Its full name is Musa acuminata × M. balbisiana (AAB Group) 'Silk'.
