Could be that distyly was ancestrally present and that the olive S-locus is a degenerated distyly supergene. EXCITING!

OR distyly evolved multiple times in the family, its evolution being facilitated by the use of this ancestrally duplicated region. After all, there seems to be a high level of convergence in this trait among flowering plants, why not within the family? 🤔
