Baobabs of Adansonia grandidieri is the largest and most widespread species of the genus Adansonia, native to Madagascar. The species was named by the French physician and botanist Henri-Ernest Bayon in honor of another French botanist, the explorer and traveler of Madagascar, Alfred Grandidier.
Adansonia grandidieri has a massive trunk 20–25 m tall, with branches at the very top bearing 5–7-palmated leaves, approximately 10 cm long.
The species grows in western Madagascar, primarily around the town of Morondava, Lake Morombe and Lake Béreboka, and along intermittent riverbeds and reservoirs.
