Thanks a lot … for the id.

“This is Illicium floridanum, a native plant related to star-anise.”

And for the information.

Thanks, … Very interesting structure.

… had identified the green fruits earlier.

Was lucky to see the flowers and mature seeds.

Thanks …

It was seen at a Nature Centre. Not the Botanical Garden.

My earlier post with green fruits was from my friend’s backyard.
