Berberis polyodonta is a shrub in the Berberidaceae described as a species in 1901. It is native to Assam, Myanmar, and southwestern China (Guizhou, Hubei, Sichuan, Tibet, Yunnan).[2]
Taxonomy
[edit]Berberis polyodonta was initially scientifically described and named Mahonia polyodonta by Friedrich Karl Georg Fedde.[1][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 polyodonta. As of 2023 this is the most common classification by botanists.[1][4]
