|discussion=<p><i>Illicium floridanum</i> was placed in <i>Illicium</i> sect. Badiana by A. C. Smith (1947). The flowers of the species are pollinated by a variety of insects; fruit set is low (L. B. Thien et al. 1983). The seeds are dispersed by explosive dehiscence of the follicles (M. L. Roberts and R. R. Haynes 1983).</p><!--
--><p>This species is cultivated in southeastern United States (M. A. Dirr 1986) and elsewhere. <i>Illicium</i> mexicanum A. C. Smith was considered a separate species by A. C. Smith (1947); expressions of all characters used to differentiate the two species overlap, however, and it seems best to consider them conspecific.</p>
