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. It is known locally as buah perah or perah tree. This plant (Thai: กระ; kra) is mentioned in Thai literature.
