Abstract

Illicium contains about 40–45 species with only one species, I. verum, currently of significant commercial importance. The two species of Illicium native to Florida were discovered by Europeans one year apart, in 1765 and 1766, but were thought to represent the same species at the time. Illicium floridanum was later described by Ellis in 1770 and I. parviflorum was described by Ventenat in 1799. A lectotype is designated for I. floridanum.
