Adansonia za là một loài thực vật có hoa thuộc họ genus Adansonia. It is endemic to Madagascar, nơi nó bị đe dọa mất môi trường sống.
Common Name(s): Baobab
Family: Malvaceae
Native To: Madagascar
Native Habitat: Arid scrubland
Growth Habit: Large tree, thick-stemmed (pachycaul)
Flowering: tháng 8
Distinguishing Characteristics: The trunk and branches have a brownish-rose colored hue. The tree is wide at the base and grows to a narrow point towards the top of the tree. Leaves are palmately lobed with up to 5 lobes per leaf. The flower buds are long green cylinders which can resemble oversized beans and could be mistaken for a fruit. The bud opens with the curling back of the outside layer of the flower bud, revealing orange petals up to 4 in long, and yellowish stamens. The flowers are musty-sweet scented. Fruit is usually ovoid with a markedly thickened peduncle. Our tree has not been observed to produce fruit, as it is the only mature individual known in Tucson, and may require pollen from a different individual to produce fruit.
