Sideroxylon
:''For other meanings see Sideroxylon (disambiguation).''
''Sideroxylon'' is a genus of trees in the family Sapotaceae described as a genus by Linnaeus in 1753.〔(Tropicos, ''Sideroxylon'' L. )〕〔(Linnaeus, Carl von. 1753. Species Plantarum 1: 192-193 ) in Latin〕 They collectively known as bully trees. The generic name is derived from the Greek words σιδηρος (''sideros''), meaning "iron", and ξύλον (''xylon''), meaning "wood."
==Distribution==
The genus is distributed mainly in North and South America, but also in Africa, Madagascar, southern Asia, and various oceanic islands.〔 Some species, such as gum bully (''S. lanuginosum''), ''S. tenax'', and buckthorn bully (''S. lycioides''), are found in subtropical areas of North America. The only South African species, the white milkwood (''S. inerme''), is associated with three historical sites, and these individuals were declared national monuments due to their unusual longevity.〔(Flora of North America, Vol. 8 Page 236, Bully, Sideroxylon Linnaeus, Sp. Pl. 1: 192. 1753; Gen. Pl. ed. 5, 89. 1754. )〕〔(Flora of China, Vol. 15 Page 212, 铁榄属 tie lan shu ''Sinosideroxylon'' (Engler) Aubreville, Adansonia, n.s. 3: 32. 1963. )〕
