'''''Sideroxylon''''' is a [[genus]] of [[flowering plant]]s in the [[family (biology)|family]] [[Sapotaceae]]. There are about 70 [[species]], collectively known as '''bully trees'''. The generic name is derived from the [[Greek language|Greek]] words ''σιδηρος'' (''sideros''), meaning "[[iron]]", and ''ξύλον'' (''xylon''), meaning "wood."<ref>{{cite book |url=http://books.google.com/books?id=NJ6PyhVuecwC |title=The Names of Plants |first=D. |last=Gledhill |edition=4 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=9780521866453 |year=2008 |page=352}}</ref> The genus is distributed mainly in the [[Neotropic ecozone|neotropics]], but also in [[Africa]], [[Madagascar]], and the [[Mascarene Islands]]. Some species, such as Gum Bully (''[[Sideroxylon lanuginosum|S. lanuginosum]]''), ''[[Sideroxylon tenax|S. tenax]]'', and Buckthorn Bully (''[[Sideroxylon lycioides|S. lycioides]]''), are found in [[Subtropics|subtropical]] areas of [[North American Atlantic Region|North America]]. The only [[South Africa]]n species, the [[White Milkwood]] (''[[Sideroxylon inerme|S. inerme]]''), is associated with three historical sites, and these individuals were declared national monuments due to their unusual longevity.

Sideroxylon (Greek, iron and wood, referring to the hardness of the wood). Sapotaceae. Trees and shrubs, with simple lvs. and small fls. in axillary clusters: fls. 5-merous or rarely 6-merous; calyx-lobes roundish or ovate, usually obtuse, nearly equal; corolla more or less bell-shaped; stamens attached to the tube at the base of the lobes and opposite to them; staminodia scale-like or petaloid; ovary usually 5-loculed: berry ovoid or globose.—About 110 species, mainly tropical, a few extra-tropical. S. Afr., Austral., and New Zeal.
