Useful Tropical plants <http://tropical.theferns.info/viewtropical.php?id=Elaeagnus+latifolia> on Elaeagnus latifolia says as below: Elaeagnus latifolia, Elaeagnus conferta and Elaeagnos triflora are sometimes treated as three distinct species and sometimes as a single entity (under Elaeagnus latifolia). There is also disagreement over the range of the species, with Elaeagnus latifolia variously stated to be native to the Indian Continent or to continental southeast Asia. In this treatment the three are treated as distinct, following the Flora Malesiana. Many taxa in this genus are separated only by quantitative characters, and better information on population variation is likely to lead to a significant reduction in the number of species recognized. Indeed, recent studies (Du, Fl. Yunnan. 12: 749-776. 2006) suggest that some species of Elaeagnus should be combined. Synonyms given are as below:
*Elaeagnus infundibularis* Momiy. *Elaeagnus kologa ceylanica* Servett. *Elaeagnus kologa grisebachii* Servett. *Elaeagnus kologa macrophylla* Servett. *Elaeagnus kologa wightii* Servett. *Elaeagnus punctata* Schltdl. *Elaeagnus rotundifolia* Servett. *Elaeagnus thwaitesii* Schltdl.
