Oleaceae belongs to the order Lamiales. It is also known as Olive family.
The Oleaceae is a family of flowering shrubs, trees, and a few woody climbers found mainly in tropical and temperate regions, with high diversity in Southeast Asia, the Mediterranean, and parts of the Americas. These dicotyledonous plants typically have opposite leaves, often aromatic and evergreen, and small, usually four-parted flowers with two stamens. The fruits vary widely and may be fleshy, winged, or woody, depending on the species. Many members are valued for their ornamental beauty, fragrant flowers, or durable wood.
Oleaceae species thrive in a range of habitats, from dry hillsides to moist forests. The family includes several economically important plants. A notable commercial crop is the olive (Olea europaea), cultivated for its oil-rich fruits and grown extensively in Mediterranean climates for food, oil production, and cultural heritage.
