agree  Adam Dickinson: Yes - banana variedade terra seems to refer to banana-da-terra, which in English is 'plantain'. 'Green plantain' could also work.

Explanation:
banana verde variedade terra ...green dessert banana..green Cavendish banana

"Tree-ripened" Cavendish bananas have a greenish-yellow appearance which changes to a brownish-yellow as they ripen further.

Musa sapientum for dessert bananas

he scientific names of most cultivated bananas are Musa acuminata, Musa balbisiana, and Musa × paradisiaca for the hybrid Musa acuminata × M. balbisiana, depending on their genomic constitution. The old scientific name Musa sapientum is no longer used.
