H This species was first described under it3 present name in 1775, but it appears not to have been detected 

 as a Florida tree until 1S34 {Myrsine ftoridana de Candolle), under which name it appeared in Chapmac'^ 

 Flora of the Southern United States in 1SS0. Subsequently, J. K. Small (1903), Britton and Shafer 

 1908), C. S. Sargent (May, 1908), added it to our tree flora under its present name. Britton and Shafer 

 have applied Myrsine as a common name for this tree. Recently found up to Lake Okeechobee. 



M Some authors have adopted the spelling Sideroxylum Linnseus; which was published by Linnaeus in 

 his Genera in 1737, while he published the spelling Sideroxylon in his Systema in 1735. Moreover, the 

 fact that Linnseus adopted the latter spelling in his Species Plantarum, which was published in 1753, woul<: 

 seem to show that he preferred Sideroxylon to his later Sideroxylum, and there appears to be no good reason 

 for not maintaining this earlier spelling. 



** Britton and Shafer (North Am. Trees, 774, 1903) have taken for this tree the name Sideroxylon foetidi<- 

 simum Jacquin, which was published in 1760, whereas Sideroxylon mastichodendron Jacquin, the name long 

 applied to this tree, was established in 1786. Obviously, if these two names were applied to the 

 plant, the earlier name must be adopted.
