***Diospyros*** (Graece διός +  πυρος 'triticum Iovis', scil. 'cibus divinus') est genus Ericalium cui sunt plus quam 700 species arborum et fruticum deciduarum et sempervirentium, quarum maior pars in zona tropica endemicae sunt, cum paucae species in regionibus temperatis inveniuntur. Nonnullae species magni aestimantur ob eorum lignum durum, grave, obscurum, nonnullaeque ob eorum fructus. Nonnullae sunt ornamentales, et multae magnum momentum oecologicum habent.

Erucae multarum specierum papilionum foliis vescuntur:
Arctiidae:
**Eupseudosoma aberrans*
**Eupseudosoma involutum*
**Hypercompe indecisa*
Geometridae:
**Gymnoscelis rufifasciata* in variis speciebus
Limacodidae:
**Monema flavescens
Lycaenidae:
**Neopithecops zalmora*
Nymphalidae:
**Charaxes khasianus* in *D. natalensi*
**Dophla evelina* in *D. candolleana*
Saturniidae:
**Actias luna* in variis speciebus
**Callosamia promethea* in variis speciebus
**Citheronia regalis* in *D. virginiana*
Tortricidae:
**"Cnephasia" jactatana*
