''Adansonia digitata'' is the most widespread of the ''Adansonia'' species on the African continent, found in the hot, dry savannahs of sub-Saharan Africa. It also grows, having spread secondary to cultivation, in populated areas. English common names for the Baobab include dead-rat tree, monkey-bread tree, upside-down tree and cream of tartar tree.
