Berberis Linnaeus. Subfamily: Berberidoideae. Barberry.
A genus of about 500 species, shrubs, of North America, South America, Asia, Europe, and n. Africa. Many authors have favored the inclusion of Mahonia in Berberis, but we here follow Yu & Chung (2017).
ID notes:Other species of Berberis are used horticulturally in our area. Though none appear to be established at this time, the possibility of encountering species other than those treated above should be kept in mind.
