Eight of the species are found in eastern [[Australia]], primarily as a [[rainforest]] tree and the other two are in eastern [[Malesia]] and [[New Caledonia]]. They are distinguished by their deep, green leaflets which are arranged oppositely, and the leaflets form paripinnite leaves. One Australian species, ''D. cunninghamii'' is grown as a street tree in the Northern Rivers area of [[New South Wales]], principally [[Lismore, New South Wales|Lismore]] and is known locally as the native tamarind. It has no direct relationship with the true [[tamarind]]. Yet another endemic Australian species is [[Diploglottis campbellii]], also known as the small leaved tamarind, is rare and threatened and is restriced to a small number of sites each with a maximum of 3 trees per site. However, the tree, as a seedling, is readily available from nurseries in the [[Northern Rivers, New South Wales|Northern Rivers]] area of New South Wales, and in south-eastern Queensland There are a total of 42 known mature wild trees in south east Queensland and north eastern New South Wales. the small leaved tamarind grows to 30 metres and has a compacted canopy making it good to use as a screening tree. It has small three lobed fruit capsules. Fruit is red when ripe and can be made into a jam. <gallery> Image:D_campbelli.jpg|''D. campbellii'' seedling </gallery> Other species in this genus include <br /> *''D. australis'' *''D. berniana'' *''D. bracteata'' *''[[Diploglottis campbellii|D.campbellii]]'' *''D. cunninghamiana'' *''D. cunninghamii'' *''D. cunninghamii var. diphyllostegia'' *''D. diphyllostegia'' *''D. harpullioides'' *''D. macrantha'' *''D. smithii'' ''Diploglottis'' species are used as food plants by the [[Hepialidae|hepialid]] [[moth]]s ''[[Aenetus|Aenetus ramsayi]]'' and ''[[Aenetus|Aenetus scotti]]''.
