Dischidia diphylla is an epiphytic ant plant from the Philippines (Luzon), related to other Dischidia species grown as houseplants. It has large imbricate leaves and yellow flowers, and is grown mainly for its foliage in warm, humid, bright conditions.
Dischidia diphylla was described by Adolph Daniel Edward Elmer but never validly published since Elmer failed to include Latin diagnoses or descriptions for the species he described after 1934.
This species is known from the Philippines on Luzon Island. It is considered to be one of the ant plants and has large imbricate leaves. The flowers are yellow.
