Adansonia kilima
Adansonia kilima is a species of baobab tree native to Africa, described in 2012. As with other baobabs, it is easily recognised by the swollen base of its trunk, which forms a massive caudex, giving the tree a bottle-like appearance. It is similar in appearance to the well-known Adansonia digitata. Adansonia kilima is found in upland populations of southern and eastern Africa, where A. digitata also occurs. It has a restricted geographic range compared to A. digitata, is diploid, and therefore presumably ancestral to the tetraploid A. digitata.
