Berberis subimbricata is a shrub in the Berberidaceae described as a species in 1948. It is endemic to China, known from Guangxi and Yunnan Provinces.[1]
Taxonomy
Berberis subimbricata was initially scientifically described and named Mahonia subimbricata by Woon Young Chun (Huan-Yong Chen, 陈焕镛, 1890–1971) and Faith Chun (Shu Chen).[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 subimbricata. As of 2023 this is the most common classification by botanists.[2][4][5]
