See text


The Austrobaileyales are an order of basal flowering plants comprising the following families:

  • Family Austrobaileyaceae
  • Family Trimeniaceae
  • Family Illiciaceae (star anise)
  • Family Schisandraceae (schisandra, kadsura)

This essentially corresponds to the order Illiciales in the older Cronquist system, which only included the last two families.

PBIO 450 Lecture Notes - Magnoliidae -- Spring 1999 (1670 words)
The hypogynous flowers and unilocular nodes without stipules are all diagnostic features of the Illiciales, but only when it is noted that the pollen has 3 or 6 apertures.
In this last feature, Illiciales may be distinguished from the other members of the Magnoliidae that have ethereal oils.
There is general agreement that the Illiciales consists of two families, Illiciaceae and Schisandraceae.
