|discussion=<p><i>Krugiodendron ferreum</i> in the flora area is found along the Atlantic coast from Brevard to Monroe counties. It is cultivated in gardens and parks as a specimen tree. <i>Krugiodendron</i> acuminatum was described from collections far-disjunct in Costa Rica and in Veracruz, Mexico. A.
