Michel Adanson, the French naturalist and explorer who described "Adansonia digitata". The baobab ("Adansonia digitata") belongs to the family Bombacaceae. Vegetation on the escarpment is characterized by "Ruellia megachlamys" and African baobab trees ("Adansonia digitata"). A few capsules are indehiscent, for example those of "Adansonia digitata", "Alphitonia", and "Merciera". Large African baobab trees ("Adansonia digitata") are scattered on the slopes. A good example of this situation can be illustrated with baobab ("Adansonia digitata").
