Berberis ahrendtii is an Indian shrub in the barberry family first described as a species in 1926.[2] The name given to it at that time had to be changed later because it was discovered that the 1926 name was a homonym of a name applied to a Venezuelan plant in 1863.[3][4][5]
Berberis ahrendtii is known only from the Chamoli and Pithoragarh districts of Uttarakhand in northern India . The species was long thought to be extinct because it had not been collected in nearly 100 years until living populations were discovered recently.[6]
