The '''Elaeagnaceae''' are a [[plant]] [[family (biology)|family]], the '''oleaster 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 about 60 species in three genera.<ref name="Christenhusz-Byng2016">{{cite journal|author=Christenhusz, M. J. M.|author2=Byng, J. W.|lastauthoramp=yes|year=2016|title=The number of known plants species in the world and its annual increase |journal=Phytotaxa|volume=261|pages=201–217|url=http://biotaxa.org/Phytotaxa/article/download/phytotaxa.261.3.1/20598|doi=10.11646/phytotaxa.261.3.1|issue=3|publisher=Magnolia Press}}</ref>
 
 
 
They are commonly [[Thorns, spines, and prickles|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]].
 
 
 
The Elaeagnaceae often harbor nitrogen-fixing actinomycetes of the genus ''[[Frankia]]'' in [[root nodule]]s, making them useful for soil reclamation.<ref>{{cite journal|url=http://www.winrock.org/fnrm/factnet/factpub/FACTSH/Elaeagnus.html|title=Elaeagnus:  A Widely Distributed Temperate Nitrogen Fixer|date=December 1992|publisher=[[Winrock International]]|accessdate=4 May 2009|archiveurl=//web.archive.org/web/20090518173805/http://www.winrock.org/fnrm/factnet/factpub/FACTSH/Elaeagnus.html|archivedate=18 May 2009}}</ref> This characteristic, together with their production of plentiful seeds, often results in the Eleagnaceae being viewed <!-- erroneously --> as weeds.
 
 
 
===Phylogeny===
 
Modern [[molecular phylogenetics]] suggest the following relationships:<ref>{{cite journal|authors=Sun M, Naeem R, Su J-X, Cao Z-Y, J.
