The Jabily or "elephant tree" (Operculicarya decaryi) is a thick stemmed succulent plant species in the family Anacardiaceae, named after the botanical collector Raymond Decary. It is found in Madagascar and is also grown as a bonsai tree.

It has small (less than 2 mm) red flowers in winter. The inflorescence is at the end of short branches and often consist of about five flowers. Woody cuttings need a soil mixture kept uniformly moist for propagation. It can also be propagated using pieces of the tuberous roots.

The Jabily is drought tolerant and does well in full sun in most places. It cannot tolerate freezing conditions.
