The tribes recognised above are those of Wallander and Albert (2000). Generic limits in Oleeae in particular need much attention; Olea itself, Osmanthus, and Chionanthus are all polyphyletic (Besnard et al. 2009a; Guo et al. 2011).
Other species are in eastern Asia, Hawaii and New Caledonia. Osmanthus is in the same family as the true olive (Olea europaea), but we at Floridata don't know if the fruits could be processed for consumption like olives.
