Distribution

It is found from West Africa to India, Indo-China, north to the Ryukyu Islands (Japan), east to the Malesian area, Australia, Melanesia and Polynesia.

Uses

D. ferrea is reported to be an important source of black ebony, but this is doubtful because of the unsatisfactory taxonomy of the group involved.[citation needed]
