|discussion=<p>Based on corolla lobes that lack lateral segments, seeds with endosperm, and embryos with a vertical orientation, <i>Sideroxylon foetidissimum</i> has been treated as the only North American species in Mastichodendron (A. Cronquist 1945b). It is readily identified among our species because it has unarmed twigs, relatively long petioles, glabrous and lustrous leaves, and yellow corollas and fruits. It is neotropical and occurs in the flora area only in coastal Florida. Our plants belong to subsp. foetidissimum.</p>
