Cordia sebestena L.
LARGELEAF GEIGERTREE
**
There is uncertainty about its nativity in south Florida (Tomlinson 1974, 1980; Bradley & Gann in Jones & Gamble 1999; Hammer 2000). The accounts by Audobon (1834, vol. 2:448), Melvill (1882:108, 1884:148), Millspaugh (1907:237), and Browne (1917:16) indicate it was also cultivated in south Florida.
