Star anise is the seed pod from the fruit of the illicium verum plant, an evergreen shrub native to Southwest China.
Although this star-shaped pod has a similar flavour and name to Spanish anise, the two plants are unrelated. A compound called anethole is responsible for the liquorice-like flavour of both plants.
