Taxonomy

Berberis longibracteata was initially scientifically described and named Mahonia longibracteata by Hisayoshi Takeda in 1917. [2] [3] A paper published by Joseph Edward Laferrière in 1997 summarized the arguments for Mahonia being more properly classified as a synonym of Berberis renaming it Berberis longibracteata. As of 2023 this is the most common classification by botanists. [2] [4]
