Elateriospermum is a monotypic plant genus in the family Euphorbiaceae.
The genus is the only member of tribe Elateriospermeae and contains a single species, Elateriospermum tapos.
It is found in Southern Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo, Java, and Sumatra.
[2] In folklore, it is said to have been used during conflicts as the burning of its wood is said to produce little or no smoke thus not alerting enemies to one's position.
