Head Matter:
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.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
We affirm the appealed order because Mid-State Federal's claim for $750,000 un der 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.
