Berberis chochoco[3][4] is an evergreen shrub or small tree up to 9 m (30 ft) tall, in the genus Berberis, family Berberidaceae. It is native to mountainous regions of northeastern Mexico, in the states of Nuevo León, Veracruz, and San Luis Potosí.[5]

The evergreen leaflets are oval to oblong, 35–55 mm (1.4–2.2 in) long, shiny with conspicuous venation. Fruits are blue. Wood is yellow and used for dyeing and tanning.[6]

Taxonomy

The compound leaves place this species in the group sometimes segregated as the genus Mahonia.[7][8][9][10][11][12]

One obscure and long overlooked publication created a monospecific genus for this species, calling it Chrysodendron tinctorium. The same publication also erected three varieties based on minor variations in leaf shape.[1][13][14][15]
