Elaeocarpus calomala is a species of flowering plant in the family Elaeocarpaceae.[1]

Elaeocarpus calomala is a tree commonly found in the Philippines and used to create religious images known as santo. In the Philippines this tree is locally known as anakle, bunsilak or binting-dalaga (Tagalog, "maiden's leg"). It is similar to native tree species known as batikuling and like the olongas, another native tree species in the Philippines.[2][3]
