Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Diospyros mabacea, the Red-fruited Ebony is a rare rainforest tree in the Ebony or Persimmon family growing in north eastern New South Wales. Listed as endangered by extinction.Sub tropical rainforest near Murwillumbah and Mullumbimby (28 S), growing at low altutide. The original habitat is mostly destroyed by land clearing and housing. The current populations are threatened by invasive plants, particularly vines. Cattle trample over seedlings in private property. Not recorded in the nearby Gold Coast, however, it is possible that it once grew there before the extensive urban development in the mid 20th century.
