Berberis schochii is a shrub in the Berberidaceae described as a species in 1913. It is endemic to China, known from the provinces of Guizhou and Sichuan. [1]

Taxonomy

Berberis schochii was initially scientifically described and named by Camillo Karl Schneider as Mahonia nitens in 1913. [2] [3] A paper was published by Joseph Edward Laferrière in 1997 summarizing the arguments for Mahonia being more properly classified as a synonym of Berberis , but he also mistakenly published it as Berberis nitens an illegitimate name. [4] As of 2023 the most classification by botanists is as Berberis schochii. [2] [5]

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. They are closely related to the genus Berberis and as of 2023 the majority of botanical sources list it as a synonym for Berberis.

This species is closely related to Berberis pimanaJ.E. Laferr. & J.S. Marr.
