|discussion=<p>Sideroxylon salicifolium is recognizable readily by twigs lacking short shoots and thorns, glabrous or glabrate abaxial leaf surfaces, glabrous ovaries, and the presence of endosperm. Prior to T. D. Pennington’s (1990) treatment, most authors (e.g., A. Cronquist 1945c) placed S. salicifolium in Dipholis, based on the aforementioned characteristics. Molecular phylogenetic analyses by U. Swenson and A. A. Anderberg (2005) provided robust support for the nesting of S. salicifolium + S. foetidissimum among other sampled species of Sideroxylon. Cronquist noted its similarities in vegetative characters to the neotropical S. persimile (Hemsley) Pennington; the two are differentiated using flower and fruit characters (Pennington).</p>
