The way I read it, it would be better phrased as:

"In the southern part of South America, more or less equivalent to Florida", probably referring to the southeast side of that continent.

This map indicates that areas of Argentina's, Uruguay's, Paraguay's, and southern Brazil's climates would fit the description of "more or less equivalent to Florida": https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1e/World_K%...
