Coccoloba P. Browne. Common name: Pigeon-plum, Sea-grape.
A genus of about 120 species, trees and shrubs, of tropical America. Koenemann & Burke (2020) discussed the evolution of the genus; the clades in the key are from their work.
ID notes: Wild hybrids between C. diversifolia and C. uvifera are rarely found but occur spontaneously; they are generally intermediate in characteristics. The hybrid, Coccoloba ×hybrida I. Castañeda, Sea-plum, is also commonly used horticulturally.
