Diospyros hebecarpa : ウィキペディア英語版
Ebony

Ebony is a dense black wood, most commonly yielded by several different species in the genus ''Diospyros''. Ebony is dense enough to sink in water. It is finely-textured and has a very smooth finish when polished, making it valuable as an ornamental wood. The word ''ebony'' derives from the Ancient Egyptian ''hbny'', via the Ancient Greek (''ébenos''), by way of Latin and Middle English.
== Species ==
Species of ebony include ''Diospyros ebenum'' (Ceylon ebony), native to southern India and Sri Lanka; ''Diospyros crassiflora'' (Gabon ebony), native to western Africa; and ''Diospyros celebica'' (Makassar ebony), native to Indonesia and prized for its luxuriant, multi-colored wood grain. Mauritius ebony, ''Diospyros tesselaria'', was largely exploited by the Dutch in the 17th century. Some species in the genus ''Diospyros'' yield an ebony with similar physical properties, but striped rather than evenly black (''Diospyros ebenum'').
