  1. Nora, was this in some botanical garden? Asking because this species is endemic to Madagascar. Posted 5 years ago

The Bottle Tree, ''Moringa drouhardii'', is an endemic species of Southwest Madagascar. It occurs in the Madagascar spiny thickets ecoregion, especially at the limestone cliffs to the east of Lake Tsimanampetsotsa, on the Mahafaly Plateau.
The species is often planted in local villages and around traditional tombs.
Neither the seeds nor the leaves are traditionally used in the Atsimo Andrefana Region despite their significant benefits.
