Berberis longibracteata is a shrub in the family Berberidaceae, first described as a species in 1917. It is endemic to China, found in Sichuan and Yunnan Provinces.[1]

Taxonomy

[edit]

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]
