Why is this article titled Olive family and not titled Oleaceae? Is there a accepted practice for this naming?Rmhermen 14:53 May 15, 2003 (UTC)

Oddball I think. One could make a case that "olive family" etc is the "common name" and should therefore be preferred, but in practice everybody here that works on plants prefers the "aceae" name. Stan 00:19, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)
