Elaeocarpus bifidus, known in Hawaiian as kalia,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Elaeocarpaceae that is endemic to the islands of Kauaʻi and Oʻahu in Hawaiʻi[3] The kalia is a medium-sized evergreen tree, and has fruits that resemble olives.

Formerly the bark was used to make rope, and the branches were used in the construction of thatched roofs.
