Diospyros abyssinica, also known as giant diospyros, is a tree species native to Sub-Saharan Africa. It is found in countries such as Guinea, Eritrea, and Angola. This evergreen tree has glossy dark green leaves and small creamy-white to yellow flowers. Its fruit is fleshy and turns blue-black when ripe. The fruit is an important part of the diet for birds, mammals, and primates. The tree is also used for its hard wood and has medicinal properties, with studies showing its effectiveness against diseases such as malaria and dysentery. Compounds found in the tree, such as bergenin and flavanol, have anti-inflammatory properties and protect against parasites. The tree is considered a traditional medicine by the Malian people and is used for various treatments.
