Correct scientific name should be Diospyros digyna
I'm confused about Diospyros nigra. According to ITIS (Integrated Taxonomic Information System) there is no such name and the correct name should be Diospyros digyna Jacq. https://www.itis.gov/servlet/SingleRpt/SingleRpt?search_topic=TSN&search_value=505968#null — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:5F:6E22:1B40:4589:4BF8:28C1:1F53 (talk) 21:45, 13 June 2018 (UTC)

Real name..?
Is this the same as Diospyros digyna? It seems to be called that a lot online, even by seed retailers, but looking up that name didn't even show this Wikipedia page until adding "Wikipedia." Atlas Obscura lists it as an alternate name.

Should we add a redirect?

What's the official name?

Ed: It's attested as "nigra" in books as early as "The Silva of North AmericaA Description of the Trees which Grow Naturally in North America Exclusive of Mexico Volume 14" By Charles Sprague Sargent in 1891 and "A Monograph of Ebenaceae" by William Philip Hiern in 1873.

 * Yes they are equivalent, Diospyros digyna is a synonym of the accepted/official name Diospyros nigra. There is already a redirect in place from Diospyros digyna. Declangi (talk) 02:38, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
