||Ad`an*so"ni*a (&?;), n. [From
Adanson, a French botanist.] (Bot.) A genus of great
trees related to the Bombax. There are 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.
D. C. Eaton.
