The banana key or Gillet key is to make a low C-Db slur or trill easier - you have to hold the banana key down with RH3 and that frees up your RH pinky to use the C# key.
Not the easiest key to use as it can cause a leak on the RH3 fingerplate when reaching across to use the banana key. Oboes with a LH C# key don't have the banana key as it's redundant on them (see attachment).
