Dear Pete;-
   The one thing you are NOT going to get is a correct answer. Like other families, Olives have (depending on who is talking) species, sub-species, forms of, and Etc. Lumpers will list the fewest true species. Zeigler counts (maybe) 70 species, many of which have different names for light and dark examples. This is not an answer you can use. Just use it in juxtaposition to the other answers you may receive. (I always wanted to use that word)
