Hippophae is a genus of sea buckthorns, which are deciduous shrubs belonging to the family Elaeagnaceae and are native to the Mediterranean region. To prevent confusion with the unrelated real buckthorns, the word sea buckthorn may be hyphenated to Sea Buckthorn (Rhamnus, family Rhamnaceae). This shrub is also known by the names sandthorn, sallowthorn, and seaberry.
