Elephants gather in the afternoon shade of a sausage tree near Seronera in Serengeti National Park, northern Tanzania. (The "sausages" are poisonous, sadly.) From the American Botanical Council: The powdered mature fruit is applied as a dressing in the treatment of wounds, abscesses, and ulcers. The green fruit is used as a poultice for syphilis and rheumatism, and a poultice made from leaves is used as a treatment for backache. ©2017 John M. Hudson
