'''''Dimocarpus''''' is a [[genus]] of trees or [[shrub]]s in the [[flowering plant]] family [[Sapindaceae]]. It includes 7 species which grow naturally in tropical south and [[Southeast Asia]], [[Malesia]], [[Papuasia]], and [[Australasia]], including [[Sri Lanka]], [[India]], the [[Philippines]], southern [[China]], [[Taiwan]], [[Myanmar]], [[Cambodia]], [[Vietnam]], [[Malaysia]], [[Indonesia]], [[New Guinea]], [[East Timor]], far north-eastern [[Queensland]], Australia.<ref name = powo/>

The [[fruit]] is edible, with the [[longan]] (''D. longan'') being grown commercially for fruit production.

The species are large [[evergreen]] [[tree]]s growing to 25–40 m tall, with [[pinnate]] [[leaf|leaves]]. The [[flower]]s are individually inconspicuous, produced in large [[panicle]]s. The fruit is an oval [[drupe]] 3–5 cm long containing a single [[seed]] surrounded by a translucent crisp, juicy layer of fruit pulp and a thin but hard orange or red skin.
