Doona disticha is a species of flowering plant in the family Dipterocarpaceae. It is a small tree endemic to Sri Lanka. It is native to the remaining lowland rain forests of southwestern Sri Lanka. It is threatened by overharvesting for timber, and by habitat loss by clearance of forest land for tea plantations. [1]
