Illicium
\Il*li"ci*um\, n. [So called, in allusion to its aroma,
from L. illicium an allurement.] (Bot.)
A genus of Asiatic and American magnoliaceous trees, having
star-shaped fruit; star anise. The fruit of
Illicium anisatum
is used as a spice in India, and its oil is largely
used in Europe for flavoring cordials, being almost identical
with true oil of anise.
