Taxonomy

Berberis eutriphylla was initially scientifically described and named Mahonia eutriphylla by Friedrich Karl Georg Fedde. As part of the long running disagreement over the correct classification of species in Mahonia it was placed in Berberis by Cornelius Herman Muller in 1942. [5] In 1997 Joseph Edward Laferrière published a paper summarizing the arguments and listing the species he thought were better classified as Berberis. [6] As of 2023 Berberis eutriphylla is the most widely used name for this species, though debate continues. [5] [7]

Mahonia is a formerly accepted genus of approximately 70 species of shrubs or, rarely, small trees with evergreen leaves in the family Berberidaceae, native to eastern Asia, the Himalaya, North America, and Central America.

<i>Berberis trifoliolata</i> Species of flowering plant

Berberis trifoliolata is a species of flowering plant in the family Berberidaceae, in southwestern North America. Common names include agarita, agrito, algerita, currant-of-Texas, wild currant, and chaparral berry. The name Agarita comes from the Spanish verb agarrar, which means "to grab". The ending "-ita" is often added to little things, so agarita means "grabs a little". This was probably said because the bush is a bit scratchy but does not have significant spines. Typical characteristics are grey-green to blue-grey leaves, yellow flowers in February to April and the red berries appearing in May. The most important harvest organ are the berries, though the roots and seeds can also be used.
