Appearance and leaves

All Diospyros species are woody plants: they grow as shrubs or trees . There are evergreen and deciduous species in the genus Diospyros . The bark of the trunk and twigs is black, the inside is yellowish. The heartwood is dark to black. The terminal buds are often not developed, sometimes the branches end with a thorny tip.

The alternate and two lines or spirally arranged on the branches leaves are divided into petiole and leaf blade. The leaf blades are simple and have entire margins, usually with glands or tiny dotted. Stipules are missing.

Inflorescences and flowers

Many species of Diospyros are dioecious and separate sexes ( diocesan ), but hermaphroditic flowers also occur. The radial symmetrical flowers are three to eight-fold with a double flower envelope. The three to five, rarely up to eight sepals are fused and form a pointed, hairy bud . The three to five, rarely up to eight petals are fused tubular to bell-shaped. The colors of the petals only range from white to cream to yellow. The petals fall off after the anthesis .

The male flowers are in zymous inflorescences , which arise from the leaf axils of young branches. The male flowers contain four or more (two to one hundred) stamens that stand in pairs or are arranged in two circles; the ovary is rudimentary.

The female flowers are also in leaf axils, but individually. In the female flowers that are three to eight carpels to a top permanent ovary grown; it is often divided into a total of three to 16 ovary chambers by false partitions. The three to eight free or partially fused styles end in a simple or often two-part scar . Rudimentary stamens ( staminodes ) can be present in the female flowers.

Fruits and seeds

The sepals enlarge until the fruit is ripe and usually remain on the fruit. The fleshy, sometimes almost leathery berries contain 1 to 16 seeds. The seeds are mostly flattened.

Sets of chromosomes

The basic number of chromosomes is x = 15. Usually diploidy is present with a chromosome number of 2n = 30. But species and varieties with multiple sets of chromosomes, i.e. with different degrees of ploidy , are known.

Herbarium of the lotus plum ( Diospyros lotus )

The genus Diospyros was set up in 1753 by Carl von Linné in Species Plantarum , 2, pages 1057-1058 with the two species Diospyros lotus and Diospyros virginiana . The generic name Diospyros means "fruit of Zeus" or "divine fruit". As Lektotypusart was 1913 Diospyros lotus L. by Nathaniel Lord Britton and Addison Brown in An Illustrated Flora of the Northern United States , 2nd Edition, 2: Fixed 720th Synonyms for Diospyros L. are: Cargillia R.Br. , Cavanillea Desr. , Ebenus Kuntze , Embryopteris Gaertn. , Guaiacana Duhamel , Idesia Scop. , Maba J.R.

Bruno Wallnöfer carried out a revision of the Neotropical Diospyros species in nine parts in 2007 and 2016 in A revision of neotropical Diospyros (Ebenaceae) in the annals of the Natural History Museum in Vienna . Extensive herbarium evidence for various flora was sifted through and taxonomic changes were made.
