Banana Employed by
the SERPENT i'm Eden?

"Early inhabitants of the East be-
iieyed that the banana plant was the
source of good and evil and that the
serpent which tempted Eve hid In a
bunch of the fruit" according to W..
Il. Pope of the Hawaii experiment
station of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Undoubtedly this legend influenced
the early classifiers who designated
two species of the plant as musa par
adislaca (fruit of paradise) and musa
%sapientum fruit of ~knowledge). The
common name, banana" was adopted
from the language of an African Con
go tribe, and first came into use dur
ing the Sixteenth century. Prior TO
that time the fruit was called apple
of paradise" and Adams tig."
The name banana" seems to have
been borne for a long period by the
fruit, which was eaten raw. The term
"plantain" was given to a variety
which, though closely related to the
banana, is edible only after being
cooked.
The generic name "MuSa" for the
banana group was bestowed by the
botanist Linnaeus in honor of An
tonius Musa, a learned physician of
the early Roman empire.-Chlcago
Journal.
