		The Baobab (Adansonia digitata L.) is a deciduous tree that belongs to the plant family called Bombacacee and is originally from Central Africa although well distributed throughout the Sahelian and Sudanian zones of Mali.
		It grows spontaneously in the tropical regions of Africa, and some species were exported and cultivated in Florida, named "bottle tree", and in Oceania (Adansonia gregorii).The trunk can reach a circumference of 40 meters, a height of 20 meters and a foliage diameter of 20 meters.
		Baobab definition is probably derived from the Arabic "bu hibab" or "fruit with several seeds"; the Latin name was taken from the French botanist Michael Adanson, one of the first scientists that studied the plant characteristics, and from the typical fingered shape of the leaves.
