Senegal saba

A botanical wonder, senegal saba flaunts its usefulness beyond its aesthetic appeal. It stands as a major economic resource in parts of Africa where its bark serves in producing Puverula, a renowned local cheese. But it doesn't stop within the culinary realm - its latex is frugally used in making rubber. This fascinating plant blooms within the dry savannahs, adding vitality to an otherwise harsh ecosystem.
