| | Star anise - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Star anise has been used in a tea as a remedy for colic and rheumatism, and the seeds are sometimes chewed after meals to aid digestion. | | | Star anise is grown in four provinces in China and harvested between March and May. The shikimic acid is extracted from the seeds in a ten-stage manufacturing process which takes a year. | | | Japanese star anise (Illicium anisatum), a similar tree, is not edible because it is highly toxic; instead, it has been burned as incense in Japan. |

| | Although there seems to be little information on the insect pollination of anise, the honey bee could probably pollinate it adequately, considering the flower's structure and its reported attraction to honey bees. | | | Anise is a minor crop cultivated for its seeds or the oil pressed from them which are used in condiments, beverages, medicines, soaps, and perfumery. | | | No reference could be found on the relation of pollinating agents to production of anise, although its flower structure and family relationship would indicate that it benefits from, if it is not entirely dependent upon, insect pollination. |
