Old baobab tree

The 149-year-old baobab tree on the traffic island between Jalan Residensi and Jalan Macalister here is among the most unusual looking tree in Penang. And with it flowering now, the tree gives off an exotic appearance as its white flowers with large crinkled petals and big cluster of stamens can be seen dangling from its branches on long stems.
