''Olea'' 〔''Sunset Western Garden Book,'' 1995:606–607〕 is a genus of about 40 species in the family Oleaceae, native to warm temperate and tropical regions of southern Europe, Africa, southern Asia and Australasia.〔(Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families, genus ''Olea'' )〕 They are evergreen trees and shrubs, with small, opposite, entire leaves. The fruit is a drupe. Leaves of ''Olea'' contain Tricho sclereids.〔(Flora of China v 15 p 295, 木犀榄属 mu xi lan shu, ''Olea'' Linnaeus, Sp. Pl. 1: 7. 1753. )〕 For humans, the most important species is by far the Olive (''Olea europaea''), native to the Mediterranean region, Africa, southwest Asia and the Himalayas.〔(Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families, ''Olea europaea'' L. )〕〔(Altevista Flora Italiana, Oleastro, ''Olea europaea'' L. )〕 ''O. paniculata'' is a larger tree, attaining a height of 15–18 m in the forests of Queensland, and yielding a hard and tough timber. The yet harder wood of the Black Ironwood ''O. laurifolia'', an inhabitant of Natal, is important in South Africa. ''Olea'' species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Double-striped Pug. ==Species== Species accepted:〔 # ''Olea ambrensis'' H.Perrier - Madagascar # ''Olea borneensis'' Boerl. - Borneo, Philippines # ''Olea brachiata'' (Lour.)
