--><p><i>Sideroxylon alachuense</i> is characterized by leaves that are green and lustrous adaxially and densely silvery- sericeous abaxially. T. D. Pennington (1990) did not account for <i>S. alachuense</i>. This species has been included previously within <i>S. tenax</i> (A. Cronquist 1945c) and <i>S. lanuginosum</i>. <i>Sideroxylon alachuense</i> is most similar to <i>S. tenax</i>; Anderson enumerated significant differences between these species in twig color and indument, abaxial leaf surface indument color, and lengths of sepals, anthers, and styles. The straight, appressed, silvery hairs of <i>S. alachuense</i> are distinctive among North American species. There are 27 individuals known from four counties in Florida and one in Georgia.</p>
