Illicium parviflorum, commonly known as yellow anisetree,[1] yellow-anise, swamp star-anise,[3] and small anise tree,[4] is a species of flowering plant in the family Schisandraceae, or alternately, the Illiciaceae.

[3] The fruit is a star-shaped aggregate of up to 13 follicles, each of which releases one shiny brown seed upon dehiscence.

[5] The plant grows in moist soils in several types of habitat, such as floodplains and hammocks, and near swamps and waterways.

[1] The plant is currently known from fewer than 20 occurrences in Central Florida, within Polk, Marion, Lake, Volusia, and Seminole Counties.

[1] This plant is cultivated as a fragrant and attractive if not very showy ornamental, and can be pruned and shaped to form hedges and windbreaks.
