Olea Paniculata - Taxonomy

Taxonomy

One of many species first described by Robert Brown in his 1810 work Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae, it still bears its original binomial name. Other common names include Australian Olive, Pigeonberry Ash, Maulwood, and Clove berry. In Chinese, it is called 腺叶木犀榄 (pinyin: xiànyè mùxī lǎn). The specific name is derived from the Latin panicula "tuft", from the arrangement of flowers.
