Kremetart

Kremetart is the Afrikaans name for the Boabab (or Adansonia) tree, indigenous to Madagaskar, Afrika and Australia.

The name occurs often in South African literature and art, and there have been at least two Afrikaans plays by this name, the one adapted from, and the other a translation of, another literary work:

Kremetart by Naude/Constanduros (1946)
