Diospyros discocalyx is a large forest tree of the ebony family, native to Borneo, reaching up to 50 m tall. It is a timber and forest species rather than a garden plant, and it is grown only in large-scale or botanic settings.
Diospyros discocalyx is a large tree in the family Ebenaceae. It grows up to 50 metres (160 ft) tall, with a trunk diameter up to 1 metre (3 ft). The bark is black. Inflorescences bear three or more flowers. The fruits are round, up to 7.5 cm (3 in) in diameter. The specific epithet discocalyx is from the Latin meaning 'disc-shaped calyx'.
