Diospyros subrhomboidea is a tree in the family Ebenaceae. It grows up to 20 metres (70 ft) tall. Inflorescences bear a solitary flower. The fruits are round, up to 1.5 cm (1 in) in diameter. The specific epithet subrhomboidea is from the Latin meaning "somewhat rhombic", referring to the leaf shape. Habitat is mixed dipterocarp forests from sea-level to 700 metres (2,000 ft) altitude.[2] D. subrhomboidea is found in Sumatra, Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore, Java and Borneo.[2][3]
