US state whose capital is Tallahassee (7)

I believe the answer is:

(Other definitions for florida that I've seen before include "the Tallahassee area" , "US location" , "bordering Alabama and Georgia" , "SE US state" , "The Sunshine state, capital Tallahassee" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
