Belongs within: Lamiales.

The Oleoideae contains the olive Olea europaea and related taxa in which the corolla has four lobes or is absent, and the ovule is pendulous from the summit of the cell (Black & Robertson 1965). Olea europaea is native to the Mediterranean region and widely cultivated for its fruit, eaten after curing, or oil from its seeds.
