Diploglottis australis, known as the native tamarind, is a well known rainforest tree of eastern Australia.

The native tamarind grows in a variety of different rainforests, on basaltic and rich alluvial soils.

Prominent examples of such birds include the brown cuckoo dove, crimson rosella, Australasian figbird, green catbird, regent bowerbird, Australian brush-turkey, rose-crowned fruit-dove, topknot pigeon and wompoo fruit-dove.

[5] The native tamarind is grown as a decorative tree in various parts of urban Australia, including behind the Mitchell Library in the city of Sydney.

The native tamarind is valued as an indigenous fruit tree because the aril may be eaten raw or added to jams and chutneys.
