Note

G. Hao & al. (2000) has shown that the earlier division into subgenera and sections is unnatural and therefore not used here. But two earlier systems have been proposed:

Smith (1947) and Imkhanitskaya (1993):

Illicium sect. Illicium (as sect. Badiana Spach by Smith)

Illicium subsect. Illicium

Illicium subsect. Parviflora Imkhan.

Illicium sect. Cymbostemon (Spach) A.C. Sm.

Law (1996):

Illicium subg. Illicium

Illicium sect. Illicium

Illicium sect. Impressicosta Y.W.Law & Q.Lin

Illicium subg. Cymbostemon (Spach) Y.W. Law & Q. Lin
