Illicium floridanum

Purple anise.  An upright, evergreen shrub with aromatic foliage.  The smooth, glossy dark green leaves smell like anise when crushed.  Rich red-wine coloured flowers appear in spring, with a heady port-like fragrance. Prefers a shady location with cool moist soil. Related to the Star anise, though this form is not edible as it is toxic.
