two species, A. digitata, the baobab or monkey-bread of Africa and
India, and A. Gregorii, the sour gourd or cream-of-tartar tree of
Australia. Both have a trunk of moderate height, but of enormous
diameter, and a wide-spreading head. The fruit is oblong, and filled
with pleasantly acid pulp. The wood is very soft, and the bark is used
by the natives for making ropes and cloth.
