cuspidata, but the latter lacks O. paniculata's small depressions between the main and secondary veins on the back of the leaf.

[5] One of many species first described by Robert Brown in his 1810 work Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae, it still bears its original binomial name.

[3] Olea paniculata is found from North East Queensland to the vicinity of the Hunter Region in New South Wales.

[3] Outside Australia it is found in Yunnan province in southwestern China, where it occurs in sheltered wetter valleys 1,200–2,400 m (3,900–7,900 ft) in altitude, as well as India, Indonesia, Kashmir, Malaysia, Nepal, New Guinea, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.

[3] It is a fast pioneer species on sunny protected sites, but needs well drained soil for good growth.
