Elaeocarpus, the largest genus of the family Elaeocarpaceae, has 350 species across the world, from Madagascar in the west to Hawaii in the east. In India, the genus is represented by 25 species and is mostly confined to the North East and southern India. They generally prefer to grow in warm and humid climate, and occur between 500 and 2000 m amsl. The fruits of most of the species of Elaeocarpus are edible and their seeds are used as beads for rosaries and bracelets.
