Illicium Tenuifolium is a small slender tree that grows to about 15 meters in length. It’s leaves are arranged in a ‘’’whorl’’’ pattern around the node of the stems containing about 3-4 leaves per node. It is also noted that the leaves composed on the stem are arise from a single point, known as a ‘’’palmately’’’ compound leaf. The texture of the leaves follow a papyraceous or chartaceous feel, where it becomes disfigured when dried along the secondary veins. The venation in the leaves runs in a ‘’’reticulate’’’ venation where the midrib, which allows support to the leaves and secondary (and even tertiary) veins are seen.
