Distribution
CAMBODIA • Kampot, Phnum Tamie [Pierre 5029 (A, K, L, NY, P, VNM)]. This species is endemic to Cambodia and only known from the type collection (Fig. 2). A gathering included in Lecomte’s original material of D. tamiriensis from Laos [Massie s.n. (P[P00721748])] belongs to D. strigosa Hemsl.
Notes
Diospyros tamiriensis is resurrected here from synonymy of D. apiculata (Phengklai 1978, 1981; Pham-Hoang 1991, 1999; Nguyen 1996; POWO 2022).
