One of the things I miss most about being in the Bay Area are the prodigious amount of persimmons that are available this time of year, so it’s always so special to receive a box of these from friends to brighten up cold snowy days in the northeast 🌱 🧡 #Ebenaceae

Harvested 63 persimmons this year, almost twice the number from 2024. And lost only one to the squirrels, compared to perhaps 10 last year. Will be making the usual array of puddings, breads, and ice cream. Might attempt a jam and a cocktail. Anything left over gets dehydrated. #persimmon #ebenaceae

New #checklist dataset in @gbif.org: A taxonomic revision of the continental African material previously included in Diospyros ferrea (Ebenaceae) https://www.gbif.org/dataset/1e95ddb7-6e88-47a3-8724-ecfba38eca71

The African material previously ascribed to Diospyros ferrea (Ebenaceae) has been revised, which resulted in 3 new species and 2 new combinations.

How many calls has their anti-diversity hotline received about scientific research into Dark Matter, Black Holes, or Diospyros Ebenaceae (aka ebony)?
Bc, I mean, clearly racist against White mens.

The persimmon is the edible fruit of a number of species of trees in the genus Diospyros.

The most widely cultivated of these is the kaki persimmon, Diospyros.

Diospyros is in the family Ebenaceae.

Harvested my persimmons (Diospyros kaki 'Fuyu') yesterday: 33! Delicious raw (especially in salads), but will likely let most of them ripen further for puddings, muffins, and perhaps chutney. Wish I'd planted a Hachiya, too (better for baking). #persimmon #fruit #gardening #baking #ebenaceae

Sounds fun. If I were a systematist (I’m a physiologist/biochemist), I would have been interested in the Ebenaceae or perhaps the Dipterocarpaceae.

Switching between acacia and grass was not clear cut as all rhino ate some acacia year round, and also consume plants from other families. Euclea divornum, family Ebenaceae, was particularly prevalent in diets on Ol Pejeta

Diospyros ssp. often have extrafloral nectaries on the abaxial surface of the leaf. There are low, flat glands on the underside of the leaf of this Diospyros discolor (by Loupok CC BYNCND2). Zoom way in to see the rows of small dots on either side of the midvein. #Ebenaceae #Botany #PlantScience 🌾

The black pigments of Diospyros are naturally occurring naphthoquinones. They oxidize & turn black (the spots on this D. virginiana leaf). These compounds are structurally related to the pigments in black walnut (#Juglans nigra) and #henna (#Lawsonia inermis). #Ebenaceae
