Same text for <h1> and <h2>

What do you think about having the same content for H1 and H2 tag in the article? It seems like keyword stuffing, right? Example:

<h1>Bananas <span>Musa × paradisiaca</span></h1>

<h2>Bananas <span>Musa × paradisiaca</span></h2>

<h2>Description</h2>  
<p>Bananas are long and yellow. Bananas are long and yellow.</p>

<h2>Taste</h2>  
<p>Bananas are delicious. Bananas are delicious. Bananas are delicious.</p>

Do you think this is a bad practice? This is how graphic layout is made for a page so the title should repeat itself (there is a tall image between them), and I'm wondering if it would be better to have markup something like this (in this case <p>), but styled as so it looks like h2.

Would you suggest something else instead of <p> which better suits a title consisted of a 2-3 words? This is a purely design based idea and I wouldn't even mind telling search engines to not index this line.

<h1>Bananas <span>Musa × paradisiaca</span></h1>

<p class="h2">Bananas <span>Musa × paradisiaca</span></p>

<h2>Description</h2>  
<p>Bananas are long and yellow. Bananas are long and yellow.</p>

<h2>Taste</h2>  
<p>Bananas are delicious. Bananas are delicious. Bananas are delicious.</p>

(Span has a display: block set so that it goes to next line)
