Thanks, Vviews. I searched the forum and JKP site but nothing showed up, because for some reason I was looking for f3r 
Glad that's cleared up.
To think about plants in groups is actually an ancient thing, for example ivy and grape vines were considered varieties of the same plant. So I'd say it's not entirely impossible for a drawing to refer to a group of similar plants, but I just don't think that has to be the case here. Banana plant will do just fine, like that we all know what we're talking about.
I'm not surprised that banana-ids are widespread, since the drawing is quite naturalistic.
Thanks for the references. Geranium is certainly a more conservative proposal, though even with the best intentions I fail to see how it could be connected to this plant.
JKP's ID takes much more of the drawing into account - the plant he proposes grows in a similar way to banana, just a lot smaller and without bananas
