Kigelia pinnata (Kigelia africana) (كجلة أفريقية)

Kigelia pinnata 

Rounded to broadly columnar, usually freely branching tree with robust stems. Bears pinnate leaves, to 50cm long, each composed of 7-11 oblong to obovate, leathery, mid- to deep green leaflets, sometimes notched at the tips. Loose, pendent panicles of bat-pollinated flowers, each 10cm across, are produced in summer. Yellowish green in bud, they open to rich brownish red at night, when they have an unpleasant smell that is attractive to bats. The cylindrical, woody fruit, to 35-60cm or more long, may weigh 5-7kg, and are pale brown when ripe. They remain on the thickened flowering stems for many months.
