Berberis eurybracteata is a species of shrub in the Berberidaceae described as a species in 1901. It is endemic to China. [2] It was previously named Mahonia eurybracteata, and is still often referred to by its former scientific name, especially in horticulture. [3] [1]

Taxonomy

Berberis eurybracteata was initially scientifically described and named Mahonia eurybracteata by Friedrich Karl Georg Fedde. [1] [4] A paper was published by Joseph Edward Laferrière in 1997 summarized the arguments for reclassifying moving it and other species of genus Mahonia to be part of genus Berberis . As of 2023 this is the most commonly accepted classification. [1] [5]
