or kola, tropical tree (genus Cola) of the family Sterculiaceae (sterculia family), native to Africa but now grown in other tropical regions. The fruit is a pod containing seeds from which is obtained caffeine, an alkaloid that functions as a stimulant.

Colas are classified in the division Magnoliophyta, class Magnoliopsida, order Malvales, family Sterculiaceae.
