Illicium is a genus of flowering plants treated as part of the family Schisandraceae,[2] or alternately as the sole genus of the Illiciaceae.[3] It has a disjunct distribution, with most species native to eastern Asia and several in parts of North America, including the southeastern United States, Mexico, and the Caribbean.[4] General common names include star anise[5] and anisetree.[2] The genus name comes from the Latin illicere ("to allure").[5]
