Discospermum reyesii is a species of flowering plant in the family Rubiaceae. The species was described in 2018, and was found on Mount Lantoy, Cebu Province, Philippines.[1] This species closely resemble that of D. whitfordii because of slightly similar leaf blades, leaf apices, and non-ribbed fruits.[2][3] However, the species differs from D. whitfordii due to its smaller fruits with size of 1 - 1.2 cm, smaller seed size to 1 - 1.4 mm x 1.5 - 2.5 mm dimensions, 4 - 6 seeds per locule, whereas D. whitfordii have 2 - 2.7 cm fruit size, 5 - 6.5 mm x 5 - 6.5(7) mm seed size, and 5 - 12 seeds per locule.[1]
