Adansonia kilima, is the name given in 2012 to certain upland populations of baobab trees of southern and eastern Africa that are now considered to be synonymous with Adansonia digitata [1] It has overlapping geographic range with A. digitata, is tetraploid, and apparently the same species as the tetraploid A. digitata.[1]
