Ziziphus talanae, also known as balakat, aligamen, or talanai, is a tree species belonging to the Rhamnaceae family. It is native to the Philippines, specifically in the regions of Luzon and Visayas. This tree can be found in the Philippinean Limestone Forest ecoregion. The bark of Ziziphus talanae has been traditionally used in Antique Province for medicinal purposes, treating various diseases such as ringworm and urinary tract infections. Recent studies have also confirmed its antimicrobial properties. The city of Mabalacat in Pampanga Province was named after this tree, using the indigenous Negrito term "mabalacat" which means "forest of balakat."
