It is impossible to mistake this species for any other Moringa.
No other species has bright red flowers or the petal and sepal
bases fused to form a long, tubular hypanthium. It usually has
a large tuber deep underground with one small shoot reaching knee-high
above the soil. If an individual is well-sheltered under a tree,
it can scramble through the branches for over three meters. At
the beginning of this century, the botanist Engler placed this
species in its own subgenus Dysmoringa.
Moringa longituba grows in northeastern Kenya, southeastern Ethiopia, and much of Somalia. Like other Moringa species in the Horn of Africa, M. longituba is used medicinally, particularly for treating intestinal disorders of camels and goats, for which the root is given internally.
