Cavanillesia arborea (common name barrigudo) is a flowering plant in the Baobab Family (Bombacaceae) native to the Caatinga region of Brazil. Fully mature specimens can have the appearance of a baobab (Adansonia digitata), but they can also assume the form of a brobdingnagian American football or rugby ball, balanced on a marvellously small base, swelling in the middle to as much as sixteen feet (five metres) and then constricting again just beneath the branches.
