Perrottet described the fruits of one form of the star anise, and the 
leaves of some other plant, possibly a Clausena. Neither Illicium anisatum 
Linn. nor I. verum Hook f. occurs in the Philippines, but the fruits of both 
are imported in considerable quantities by the Chinese, among whom it is 
known as sanki, whence Perrottet’s specific name.
