We identify a fundamental structure in the spectrum of microwave driven alkali Rydberg states, which highlights the remnants of the Coulomb symmetry in the presence of a nonhydrogenic core. Core-induced corrections with respect to the hydrogen spectrum can be accounted for by a perturbative approach.
