Balakata
Balakata is a genus of trees in the family Euphorbiaceae first described as a genus in 1999. It is native to Southeast Asia, southern China, the Himalayas, and New Guinea. The genus name was inspired by "balákat-gúbat" ("shoulder-tree"), the Philippine common name for "B. luzonica". "Balakata baccata" grows up to 26 meters tall, while "B. luzonica" can reach . These trees have alternately arranged leaves long, usually with large basal glands on the undersides. The undersides are also whitish in color in "B. baccata", but not in "B. luzonica". The former has longer petioles than the latter. The  trees are monoecious, with inflorescences containing several male flowers and usually at least one female flower at the base. The fruit is smooth and fleshy. That of "B. baccata" usually contains two seeds, while the fruit of "B. luzonica" has a single seed. Both species yield useful wood; "B. luzonica" wood may have commercial value.
