Illiciura anisatum L. was described being based on the descriptions and 

 figures in Kjempfee : Ainoenitatuni Exoticarum. So, it is a book species 

 as Camellia jap onica, Ficus pumila etc. The name of Illicium an isatum 

 should be refered to the Japanese species. Ltxnjeus got a Chinese speci- 

 men after he published the tenth edition of Systenia Naturte. He thought 

 that Chinese plant is conspecific with the Japanese and added China as 

 the habitat of Illicium anisatum in the second edition of Species Plan- 

 tarum. Many later botanists oTerlooked the tenth edition of Systema Na- 

 turse and attributed the technical term of Illicium anisatum to the Chi- 

 nese plant, and gaTe new name Illicium rcligiomm to the Japanese plant.
