Berberis shenii is a shrub in the Berberidaceae described as a species in 1928. It is endemic to China , found in the provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, and Hunan.[2]
Taxonomy
Berberis shenii was initially scientifically described and named Mahonia shenii by Woon-Young Chun (Huan-Yong Chen, 陈焕镛).[1] He named it in honor of Professor P.F. Shen of Sun Yatsen University in Canton (Guangzhou).[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 shenii. As of 2023 this is the most common classification by botanists.[1][4][5]
