Herb

It was once included in the Magnoliaceae family. The flowers are really only small

If it is evergreen and small, it only leaves the Alicmandra family. My guess the more common A. Caltharctii.

MMMMM

I think I can smell this from here

Is it Illicium anisatum?

I tried to grow I. verum once (the true star anise) and I became very familiar with how it was supposed to look through pictures.

Just out of curiosity, how does a plant commit incest?

Dear Jo, I am feeling all warm and happy inside with your news in other article. I am so happy for you. As a mother of 4 and they all came without a whiff of drugs [like falling off a log for me] if there is anything you want to know, email me

I was lying in bed trying to get asleep and listening to the frogs when it suddenly flashed into my mind - "I think I wrote that the Illicium anisatum comits incest. I was not even thinking about the Suite - perhaps you were asking your question and we had thought transfer happen

Illicium - the largest variety Illicium verum is a source of star anise which is used in Oriental cooking. But do not use the seeds of I anisatum because used in quantity, they can kill you. The leaves are aromatic and the bark is used for INCENSE

Jojo, you did it again :=]
