Seen in the Botanic Gardens. Unfortuntely it was not flowering. The flowers are maroon coloured velvet and make a stunning display, can reach up to 90 cm in length.

Yes, of course it does. I wonder what the african's common name is though. Perhaps they don't have sausages?
What else?
See who else is growing Kigelia africana (Sausage Tree).
See who else has plants in genus Kigelia.

Does it get it's name from the shape of the flowers or the fruit?
