There are hundreds of different banana species and various ones have fruits in upright stalks. A few more such species can be seen among the images on this site, for example: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
It's true that the fruit will generally be lower than what is shown in the VM. I'm also not saying that it absolutely must be one of the upright species. The flower is missing too, so if it's banana, the fruit is not the most accurately rendered part.
If this drawing were to accompany a text about how to cultivate bananas, rather than how to identify them in the wild, it would make sense to me. This drawing would be useful if I wanted to teach someone banana care and propagation.
So many VM plant discussions would be easier if scale were indicated
