Where do Strelitzias go in the classification?[edit]

This page says S. alba is "a tree of the Banana family" (linking to Musaceae) - the classification on the top right repeats this claim. However, the page for Strelitziaceae suggests that this is no longer generally considered the case, citing the APG II System.

In summary, this page refers to older classifications:

  • Musaceae
    • Strelitzia
    • Other "Strelitzaceae" genera
    • Other Musaceae genera

whereas the Strelitziaceae page refers to newer classifications:

  • Musaceae
    • Other Musaceae genera
  • Strelitziaceae
    • Strelitzia
    • Other Strelitzaceae genera

Does this make sense, and have I got it right? If so, shall we edit the main text and move S. alba out of Musaceae?
