Photographs, ecological information and an IUCN conservation status are provided. The distinctive morphological characters of the new species and its related species are discussed. Based on cpDNA data, the new species is confirmed as an independent lineage and placed in the <em>Diospyros</em> clade V sensu Duangjai et al. (2009). It has phylogenetic affinities with <em>Diospyros mollis</em>, and then <em>D. fulvopilosa</em> and <em>D. kurzii</em>. Our result supports the assignment of the new species to <em>Diospyros</em> section <em>Kurzella</em>. A revised description and a key to the species of <em>Diospyros</em> section <em>Kurzella</em> is presented.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Thai Forest Bulletin (Botany)}, author={Duangjai, Sutee and Rueangruea, Sukid and Phutthai, Thamarat and Middleton, David and Suddee, Somran}, year={2020}, month={Mar.}, pages={34–44} }
