Oleaceae Hoffmannsegg & Link
Oleaceae, the olive family, is a plant family containing 24 extant genera (and one extinct) of woody plants, including shrubs, trees and vines. It is characterised by opposite leaves that may be simple or pinnately-compound. The calyx and corolla are four-lobed.
Many members of the family are economically important. The olive, Olea europaea, is extremely important for its fruit and the oil extracted from it. The ashes, genus Fraxinus, are valued for their tough wood, and forsythia, lilacs, jasmines, privets, and fringetrees are all valued as landscaping plants.
