Etymology


Illicium is derived from Latin and means 'seductive'. The name is in reference to the plant's fragrance.[4]

Henryi is named for Augustine Henry (1857-1930), an Irish botanist who went on plant hunting expeditions to China, and who co-authored Trees of Great Britain and Ireland together with Henry John Elwes.[4]
