'''Elaeagnaceae''', the '''oleaster family''', is a [[plant]] [[family (biology)|family]] of the [[order (biology)|order]] [[Rosales]] comprising small [[tree]]s and [[shrub]]s, native to temperate regions of the [[Northern Hemisphere]], south into tropical [[Asia]] and [[Australia]]. The family has 45-50 [[species]] in three [[genus|genera]].
They are commonly [[spine (biology)|thorny]], with simple [[leaf|leaves]] often coated with tiny scales or hairs. Most of the species are [[xerophyte]]s (found in dry [[Habitat (ecology)|habitat]]s); several are also [[halophyte]]s, tolerating high levels of soil [[salinity]].
