Didymocheton mollissimus is a species of tree in the family Meliaceae. It ranges from eastern India and Bangladesh to southern China, Myanmar, Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo, Sumatra, Java, the Lesser Sunda Islands, and the Philippines,[2] where it grows in lowland tropical moist forests.[1]

The species was first described as Trichilia mollissima by Kurt Polycarp Joachim Sprengel in 1827.[2] The specific epithet mollissima is from the Latin meaning 'very soft', referring to the leaf hairs.[3] It was later renamed Dysoxylum mollissimum.[2] A study published in 2021 found the genus Dysoxylum to be polyphyletic, and the species was placed in the revived genus Didymocheton as D. mollisimus.[4] The former subspecies Dysoxylum mollisimum subsp. molle, native from Sulawesi east to the Solomon Islands, is now recognised as a distinct species, Didymocheton mollis.[4][5]
