However, APG II does allow the option of segregating the genus Illicium as the family Illiciaceae. This leaves only two genera in the family Schisandraceae sensu stricto, consisting of Schisandra and Kadsura, totalling several dozen species, which are found in tropical to temperate regions of East and Southeast Asia and North America.

The best-known species is Illicium verum, commonly known as star anise.

Austrobaileyales is sister to all remaining extant angiosperms outside the ANA grade. [5] [6] [7]
