FIRST FLORIDA BANKS, INC., and First Florida Bank, N.A., Appellants, v. MID-STATE FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK, Appellee.
    No. 92-812.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.
    Feb. 12, 1993.
    Charles W. Pittman, H. Vance Smith, Susan W. Fox of MacFarlane Ferguson, Tampa, and Young J. Simmons of Simmons & Gray, Ocala, for appellants.
    Robert C. Owens and Mark P. Dikeman of Stearns Weaver Miller Weissler Alha-deff & Sitterson, P.A., Miami, and Andrew G. Pattillo, Jr. of Pattillo & McKeever, P.A., Ocala, for appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

We affirm the appealed order because Mid-State Federal’s claim for $750,000 under section 10.1 of the New Agreement is properly brought in Marion County. Appellant is correct that this claim is ill-pleaded; however, for purposes of determining proper venue for such a claim, it is adequate. Appellant’s “gravamen of the claim” argument misapplies the cases cited and is rejected.

AFFIRMED.

GOSHORN, C.J., and W. SHARP and GRIFFIN, JJ., concur.
