The mainland African species also occurs on Madagascar, but it is not a native of that island.A typical common name is baobab. Other common names include boab, boaboa, bottle tree, upside-down tree, and monkey bread tree. The generic name honours Michel Adanson, the French naturalist and explorer who described A. digitata.(Wikipedia)
