Tree ID

Visiting in the Cariboo area of the province and saw this unusual tree which appeared to have some berries along the stalk. It seems to grow around the edges of water ways, so assume it likes moisture. Curious as to what species it is?

 

Looks like Elaeagnus rhamnoides (syn. Hippophae rhamnoides), Sea Buckthorn.

 

Thank you, interesting as it appears it has a number of medicinal properties

 

Ditto to Sea-buckthorn Hippophae rhamnoides.

@ Junglekeeper - a separate genus from Elaeagnus (though related), and also not a buckthorn (Rhamnaceae), so therefore, the English name is hyphenated

 

I just went with what was reported at The Plant List: Hippophae rhamnoides L. — The Plant List

 

Oh no!
Not another new name to remember.

Elaeagnus rhamnoides (L.) A.Nelson — The Plant List

 

You can safely ignore The Plant List as an authority on plant names. It is a useful tool to understand some synonyms, but if you are going to use a worldwide database, use Kew's Plants of the World Online: Hippophae rhamnoides L. | Plants of the World Online | Kew Science

 

Yep - the Plant List has got its knickers in a twist badly over Hippophae - it accepts the genus as valid with several species, but not including its type species, which it transfers to a different genus! Completely bonkers (and totally against the rules of botanical nomenclature). As Daniel says, don't trust it.
